Qualus Corporation (Qualus), a leading pure-play power services firm and innovator at the forefront of the energy transition, announced today the completion of its acquisition of Planet Forward Energy Solutions, LLC (PFES), a specialized and differentiated provider of program management and strategic advisory services to the power industry and utilities. The firm has extensive experience managing large, long-term power and utility infrastructure programs and serves as a trusted advisor to optimize the structuring of capital investment strategies and allocation of resources as part of multi-decade critical infrastructure initiatives for its clients, including initiatives in grid resiliency, clean energy, energy efficiency and increased generation investment related to renewables, decarbonization, electrification, and data center expansion.
