The shift to clean energy isn’t coming — it’s here. Communities, utilities, and developers are making real investment decisions about solar, wind, hydropower, and hydrogen, and the engineering behind those decisions matters enormously. DLZ has been working in renewable energy for decades, bringing technical depth, policy knowledge, and multidisciplinary capabilities to clean energy projects of every scale and type.
DLZ works with government agencies, developers, utilities, and private owners across the full spectrum of clean energy. Our services span early feasibility and site evaluation through design, permitting, construction, and long-term operations. That continuity matters: clients benefit from a team that understands the full arc of a project, not just the phase they’re brought in for.
Clean energy projects don’t succeed on engineering alone. They require a deep understanding of policy, incentives, and regulatory requirements — and the ability to navigate all of it while keeping projects financially viable. DLZ brings that knowledge alongside technical expertise, helping clients reduce long-term costs, improve environmental performance, and move clean energy projects from concept to operation with confidence.
Hydropower is one of the world’s most reliable renewable energy sources. DLZ delivers end-to-end hydropower services — from feasibility and project finance through design, construction, and operations — with global experience and deep technical expertise.
Solar demand is growing fast. DLZ provides full-service planning, engineering, and construction support for solar projects of all scales, with capabilities that span site evaluation, construction inspection, environmental considerations, and project oversight.
Modern wind energy demands specialized engineering. DLZ supports wind projects from feasibility through detailed design, with proven experience in balance-of-plant engineering, turbine foundation design, and project planning across domestic and international markets.
Green hydrogen is reshaping how energy is produced and used. DLZ brings hands-on experience designing, building, and operating hydrogen production and fueling systems — including Ohio’s first privately owned hydrogen refueling station.

DLZ’s clean energy practice spans solar, wind, hydropower, and green hydrogen. Clients benefit from a team with multidisciplinary experience across all four areas — and the ability to integrate renewable energy sources into solutions that are efficient, scalable, and financially sound.
Clean energy has been a focus at DLZ for decades. That long-term commitment has produced deep technical expertise, established relationships with equipment manufacturers and financing sources, and a track record of successful project delivery across the U.S. and internationally.
Much more. DLZ supports clients from early feasibility and site evaluation through design, permitting, construction, and long-term operations. We also bring strong knowledge of energy policy and incentives, helping clients navigate regulatory complexity and maximize project viability and return on investment.
Yes. DLZ works with government agencies, utilities, developers, and private owners — adapting our approach to the specific needs, constraints, and goals of each client type. Public-sector clients benefit from our experience with regulatory compliance and permitting; private developers benefit from our project finance knowledge and construction capabilities.
