DVL Group

For this episode of the DVL Power Hour, we’ll welcome Stephen Stegall, Senior Project Manager at Georgia Transmission, whose project portfolio includes large and complex initiatives dedicated to data center interconnections. Drawing on his experiences, he’ll be walking us through how utilities scope, engineer, procure, construct, and commission the substations and transmission assets required to bring reliable power to these high-value sites. He’ll provide a grounded look at what it truly takes to deliver megawatts on demand.

Join us to gain a valuable perspective on how thoughtful collaboration and realistic planning translate into faster, smoother power delivery for mission critical operations. You’ll also get an understanding of: 

•The full-lifecycle process of energy interconnection,
•Regulatory and environmental considerations,
•Pressures behind maintaining schedule deliverables,
•Importance of coordination between engineering teams,
•And more!
