About Us

Power generation specialists

Energy Specialist Solutions (ESS) was founded in Scotland in 2020 with one clear mission: to deliver world-class commissioning, engineering support, and rapid-response power restoration anywhere in the world.

From those early projects, ESS quickly built a reputation for speed, technical excellence, and a practical, no-nonsense approach to solving problems on site.

As demand grew, ESS expanded internationally and opened its U.S. office in 2022, strengthening our ability to support customers across North America and beyond. Today, ESS operates globally with an excellent safety record, world-wide coverage, and a strong annual turnover driven by repeat business and long-term client relationships.
