SLR acquires renewables specialist Powerhaus Consulting

SLR, a UK-based environmental and sustainability consulting firm, has acquired Powerhaus Consulting, a Toronto-based electrical engineering and design consultancy focusing on renewable energy solutions.

Since its founding in 2018, Powerhaus has worked on 200+ projects in Canada and the US, primarily in utility-scale solar farms, battery energy storage systems, EV infrastructure, and overhead distribution connections.

Powerhaus has 29 employees listed on LinkedIn.

SLR’s acquisition of Powerhaus will expand its Toronto presence and its clean energy and grid infrastructure capabilities. SLR has 20+ offices in Canada.

“This marks an exciting new chapter for Powerhaus,” said David Crockett and Rhys Goldman, managing directors of Powerhaus. “Joining forces with SLR will allow us to take our mission further—combining our technical strengths, market insight, and shared values to become the go-to provider for renewable electricity solutions for clients across North America and beyond.”

SLR in 2023 acquired Vancouver-based Palmer Environmental Consulting Group.

SLR provides services across ESG and sustainability strategy, reporting, and assurance; energy transition; climate resilience and net zero; technical advisory and transaction support; planning and permitting; and design and project implementation.

The Buckinghamshire, UK-headquartered company has 4,500+ people across 135+ offices in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific regions.

“Powerhaus’ vision, technical expertise, and client focus align perfectly with our commitment to advancing sustainable infrastructure and how work together to bring value and expertise to our clients,” said Craig Johnston, managing director for Canada at SLR. “Together, we look forward to enhancing our service offerings, strengthening client relationships, and supporting the path to a more sustainable future.”
