Power Where The Grid Isn’t Ready
When utility power is a year away, a microgrid can open the site now. Generators as primary power, battery storage, on-site fuel, and chargers, permitted and built to the same standard as a grid-tied site.
H Scott Consulting carries microgrid sites from first intake to energized and open, across every jurisdiction.
More Agencies. More Rules. Same Deadline.
A grid-tied charging site answers to the building department and the utility. A microgrid site answers to them and to the air quality agency, the fire marshal, the environmental regulator, and in some states the utility commission. Generators need emissions review. Fuel tanks need listing, containment, and a spill plan. Batteries need fire code review and an emergency operations plan. Miss one of them and the site sits.
We map every one of those requirements for the site before anything is ordered, so the equipment you bring is the equipment that gets approved.
What This Includes
What we handle
- Site intake: one secure link per site where your team uploads cut sheets, layouts, and landlord consent, and answers the questions the permits will ask
- Requirement screening by address: air, fuel storage, battery, fire, electrical, zoning, spill prevention, and registrations, with the source for each requirement
- Generator air permitting and emissions documentation, including EPA tier and certification review
- Fuel storage compliance: tank listing, secondary containment, overfill protection, and SPCC plan preparation where required
- Battery energy storage review against fire code, with emergency operations and commissioning plans
- Fire marshal, building, and electrical permits, including one-line and site plan coordination
- Landlord and host coordination for fuel, generators, and batteries on their property
- Construction management through energized and open, with close-out documentation
Who this is for
Charge point operators who need sites open before the utility can serve them. Fleet and event operators who need temporary or bridge power for charging. Contractors and equipment providers deploying mobile or trailer-mounted power across many sites at once.
Whether the site runs for six months or becomes permanent, we plan the permits for how long it will actually be there.
One Method, Every Site
Every project runs the same seven steps. That is why the fiftieth site goes as smoothly as the first.
Discover
We intake your portfolio and map the sites, timeline, capital, and constraints.
Assess
Feasibility and due diligence on every site: what is real, what is risk, what is dead. You stop spending on sites that will never open.
MicroGrid: We screen the address against air, fuel, battery, fire, and zoning rules and tell you which ones apply before you commit equipment.
Align
We engage the utility, the permitting authorities, subs, and suppliers early, before the project needs them.
MicroGrid: We engage the air agency, fire marshal, and landlord early, the same way we engage the utility on a grid-tied site.
Engineer
Design and documentation carried to permit-ready.
Clear
We drive permitting and approvals to green light.
MicroGrid: We drive every permit, plan, and registration to approval, not only the building permit.
Deliver
A construction-ready site with nothing left to untangle.
Activate
When engaged through construction, we carry the site to live, energized, and open to the public.
Most firms hand off at the permit. We hand off at the moment your site starts working for you.
