Advisory That Powers Energy Growth, Globally

From project finance and market entry to regulatory compliance and technical due diligence,
West-US TD helps investors, developers, and governments make confident, data-driven decisions in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

Our integrated approach bridges engineering precision, financial acumen, and policy expertise — accelerating the transition to reliable, profitable, and sustainable power systems worldwide.

Guided by Dr. Nasser Faarooqui, former Principal Advisor at the Electricity Authority New Zealand and consultant to USAID and MFAT, our advisory practice is built on the same principles that shape national grid and energy policies — precision, transparency, and accountability.

Every Energy Project Starts With the Right Advice.

In today’s rapidly evolving energy sector, one weak assumption or delayed regulatory decision can derail entire projects.

Poorly structured financial models, fragmented grid strategies, or unclear compliance pathways often stall multi-million-dollar energy investments long before construction begins.

West-US TD bridges these gaps by delivering integrated technical, financial, and regulatory advisory — ensuring every project is investment-ready, compliant, and bankable from day one.

Our multidisciplinary team connects the dots between engineering precision, market insight, and financial strategy to help investors, developers, and governments make confident, data-driven decisions.
