Where WSP sits in the stack
WSP's placements in this catalog cover 5 parts, from layer 7 (electrical: power distribution (grid to rack)) to layer 9 (building shell, site & construction). None of them currently carries a sourced supply constraint tag. Across these parts it overlaps with other companies most often on the lines below.
What these parts are
- Grid-scale BESS — Utility-scale battery installations sited at or near a campus for peak shaving, load smoothing, or capacity buffering, distinct from batteries inside a UPS.
- PCS and inverters — Power conversion systems and inverters that convert stored DC battery energy to AC power for UPS and grid-scale BESS alike.
- Inverters — Manufacturers of solar and battery inverters that convert DC output to grid-compatible AC power for renewable projects.
- Transmission EPC — Engineering, procurement, and construction firms that build new transmission lines and substations.
- Architecture, engineering & MEP design — Architecture and engineering firms that design a data center's building envelope and its mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems before construction begins.
