Willdan Performance Engineering

Ever wonder what it takes to lead a team to success every single day? Meet Willie Wright, our General Superintendent, and the man who keeps things moving with a whole lot of heart. Willie is proof of how great things happen when we have each other’s backs. When a team stays accountable and works together, there’s nothing they can’t achieve. This is his story, his day, and his impact. #Accountability #Teamwork #ADayInTheLife #BehindTheScenes #WeAreBetterTogether #Willdan #WinWithWilldan

E3’s recent report, published last week as part of Virginia’s Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission data center study is a comprehensive analysis around grid and ratepayer impacts of continued data center growth. https://lnkd.in/g655tdxh There's a lot of interesting findings and insights in the study such as the following: ▶ Seasonal Shape and Peaks: Data center loads are fairly flat with a relatively mild seasonal pattern with a summer peak. The magnitude of projected data center load growth means that Virginia’s electric system will remain summer peaking over time. Without significant data center growth, the system would transition to winter peaking. This shift has major implications for the types of generation resources needed to maintain reliability over time. (See pages 45-47 of our report for details.) ▶ Infrastructure and Policy Scenarios: We analyze the infrastructure required to reliably serve new data center load under scenarios with and without clean energy policy targets. ▶ Ratepayer Impacts and Load Flexibility: The study evaluates both historical and potential future ratepayer impacts, along with the benefits of flexible data center loads in supporting grid operations. The scale and growth of data centers bring unique challenges and potential economic opportunities for electricity systems that are seeing or expecting this growth. I encourage those interested in grid planning and ratepayer impacts related to large data center growth to explore the report. #EnergyInfrastructure #DataCenters #LoadGrowth #GridReliability #EnergyPlanning

100 years old never looked so good! 🎉 This year, the iconic Balboa Theater celebrates a century of delighting the City of San Diego. From its humble beginnings as a vaudeville and cinema theatre in 1924 to becoming a premier venue for world-class performances, music, dance, and comedy, the Balboa Theater has hosted legends like Jerry Seinfeld, Chelsea Handler, and Chris Rock, along with award-winning productions such as Wicked and Moulin Rouge. Each year, it continues to welcome hundreds of thousands of patrons and enrich the community. We're proud to have supported its journey with sustainable upgrades in 2019 that preserved its historic charm while enhancing comfort and energy efficiency through modernized lighting, HVAC systems, and solar PV upgrades. Here’s to the next 100 years of making memories! #BalboaTheater #SanDiego #100Years #Centennial #Sustainability #Willdan #NAESCO

Meet Serhan Aykal, our new Assistant Construction Manager at Willdan! 🎉 Serhan’s journey in construction began with a B.S. in Construction Management from Colorado State University. Though still early in his career, he’s already gained valuable experience working on healthcare construction projects, including hospitals and clinics, across OR, WA, NV, and CA. Outside of work, Serhan loves spending time in the great outdoors with his dog, working on car projects, and reminiscing about his days as the 3rd-grade state chess champ. We’re excited to have Serhan on the team and look forward to the contributions he’ll make as he grows with us! 👏 #EmployeeSpotlight #TeamWilldan #NewTeamMember #Welcome #WinWithWilldan
