Delivering a Statewide EV Charging Infrastructure Mandate — On Schedule, On Budget, Without Disrupting Host Businesses

Client: A major investor-owned utility in the Southwest US (name withheld pending approval) Service Provided: Workstream PM™ — Project Management | Program Value: $10M+ | Duration: Multi-year

The Challenge

State public utility commissions are increasingly mandating large-scale electric vehicle charging infrastructure buildouts on fixed timelines. For this utility, that meant deploying charging stations across dozens of host sites throughout its service territory — each with its own site conditions, business operations, and safety considerations — while controlling program costs across a multi-year rollout and staying accountable to the regulatory mandate driving the program.

The MWC Approach

Mountain West Consulting provided full program and project management (Workstream PM™) for the utility's multi-year EV charging buildout, coordinating scope, schedule, and cost across every phase of the rollout across a large number of installation sites. Working directly with the utility's team and its installation contractors, MWC's oversight ensured each site was installed safely, scheduled installations around each host business's operations to minimize disruption, and tracked spend and change activity against the program budget as the buildout progressed across the service territory over multiple years.

The Result

The utility met its public utility commission mandate for the program, delivering a $10M+, multiyear electric vehicle charging infrastructure buildout with disciplined program oversight and without meaningful disruption to the day-to-day operations of the businesses hosting the new charging stations.
