NEW YORK , Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arcadis, a global leader in intelligence-driven sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets, today announced that it has joined forces with Schneider Electric in the Accelerating Resilient Infrastructure Initiative to rapidly scope, finance and deploy resilient local energy systems, such as microgrids, while federal incentives remain available. With current federal incentives for clean energy projects set to expire soon, communities have a limited window to secure funding and accelerate the deployment of resilient energy infrastructure. Taking action now is crucial to maximize available support and avoid significantly higher costs in the future. This collaboration is designed to help organizations fast-track resilient local energy infrastructure deployment across the United States and unlock up to $7.5 billion in capital financing for U.S. energy resilience projects. Jana Gerber, North American President of Microgrids for Schneider Electric, said: "Communities are under increasing pressure to maintain reliable, affordable power in the face of aging infrastructure, extreme weather, and evolving threats. Our collaboration with Arcadis brings together industry leaders to accelerate the deployment of local, future-ready energy solutions. The initiative strives to help organizations reduce risk, control costs, and ensure continuity of critical services." Key customer benefits include the following: As a strategic delivery participant, Arcadis' expertise in permitting, design, engineering, procurement and project delivery will help this consortium efficiently execute plans. Other initiative participants at launch include: Matthew Styer, Global Partnerships Director at Arcadis, said: "We're proud to partner with Schneider Electric and other leading energy innovators to help clients future-proof their energy strategies. By combining our expertise with the power of this consortium, we're making it easier than ever for organizations to secure resilient, sustainable energy infrastructure—and take advantage of the resulting operational efficiencies and cost savings." By 2028, the U.S. power grid may reach a tipping point where peak electricity supply cannot meet peak demand, jeopardizing grid reliability. The Accelerating Resilient Infrastructure Initiative addresses this challenge by expanding distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels, battery storage, geothermal heat pumps, and EV charging stations. Deploying these technologies helps communities reduce dependence on the centralized grid, contain rising utility costs, enhance energy resilience, and support long-term sustainability.
