As power systems become more complex, resilience can no longer be left to market forces alone. Jacobs’ Dr. Maureen Paul explores why future planning must prioritize portfolio diversity, locational value and performance under uncertainty to build a more reliable, decarbonized grid.
Electrification, AI infrastructure and renewable energy are reshaping power demand faster than traditional planning models can adapt. Jacobs’ Senior Associate Director, Future Energy & Power Systems, Chris Boden explains why the future grid requires a fundamentally different approach.
Mohsen Zadeh helps utilities integrate renewable energy with AI-driven demand and emerging grid technologies while maintaining stability and reliability.
Rail tunnels demand precision, coordination and risk control. Tailored building information modeling (BIM) strategies are delivering greater certainty and long-term value across major projects in the Middle East and beyond.
Authenticity and disciplined customer experience turn major events into experiences that cut through choice overload and win attention. Nowhere is this more evident — and important — than in the Middle East, where scale alone is no longer the differentiator.
As power systems become more digital and interconnected, resilience must become a core design principle. Geev Mokryani explains why future grids should be planned to adapt and recover from increasingly complex disruptions.
Funding pressures, changing priorities and evolving stakeholder needs are now part of the program delivery landscape. Program pioneer Suzanne McCormack shares the practical approaches that enable complex programs to remain resilient and focused on outcomes.
Mary-Jane Wood combines design expertise with geospatial analytics to solve complex spatial challenges through evidence-based decision-making. She has worked on regeneration master plans and large-scale transformation strategies across Europe and the Middle East. Today, she uses geodesign, digital twins and KPI-driven dashboards to reduce risk and speed up approvals, keeping projects aligned to the right outcomes.
