As the world shifts toward a more sustainable energy future, two converging factors have accelerated the demand for electricity: the global energy transition and the exponential growth of data centers. This, however, presents a complex challenge. On one hand, we must scale up electricity generation to meet increasing demand from electrified industries and burgeoning data centers. On the other hand, this expansion must occur within the constraints of sustainable energy goals, meaning we cannot simply rely on traditional, carbon-intensive power sources.
That’s where REV steps up to deliver cutting-edge high-voltage (HV) solutions that are reliable, adaptable, and designed to meet the most complex demands. Under the leadership of Jason Molstad, principal, the company has emerged as a leader in the HV space, delivering innovative products and also being a key player providing quality products and services across core industries such as oil and gas, mining, commercial, and utilities.
“We achieve this by understanding what is important to the client,” Molstad says. “Many firms get carried away with their own perspective, but we spend time getting to know our clients, understanding their needs, and investing in long-term relationships.”
Investment in Capacity and Capability
One of the main challenges facing the high-voltage industry today is the need for speed and certainty in project delivery without compromising quality. REV has made significant investments in facilities, equipment, and a highly trained workforce to ensure it can meet these demands. Its lean manufacturing processes, state-of-the-art facilities, and robust supply chain enable the company to consistently deliver on time, with the Arlington facility playing a pivotal role in expanding REV’s capacity.
REV’s focus on efficiency extends beyond its physical assets. The company has also built an internal culture of excellence driven by continuous investment in its people. From training programs to employee retention strategies, REV ensures it is staffed with individuals who take personal pride in delivering quality projects on time and within budget. This people-first approach is critical to the company’s ability to meet client expectations.
Tailored Solutions for Complex Industries
REV’s ability to provide flexible and reliable electrical designs is essential to the wide range of industries it serves, including oil and gas, mining, HPC and utilities. Each industry presents unique challenges, and the company’s agility in adapting to these sector-specific needs has earned it a strong reputation in the market.
For example, in the highly demanding environment of oil and gas, REV’s products withstand some of the harshest conditions on the planet. Molstad highlights that their products have a proven track record of performing exceptionally well in extreme climates, a testament to the company’s focus on durability and reliability. The company also takes pride in offering a 24/7 field service team, ensuring clients have the support they need to keep their operations running smoothly.
In addition to physical reliability, REV’s R&D team plays a crucial role in delivering innovative solutions. Molstad notes, “At heart, we have always been innovators in the space. Whether designing electrical distribution units, medium-voltage switchgear, or modular data centers, REV’s engineering and manufacturing processes are built to be responsive and adaptable to the rapidly changing needs of our clients.”
A Culture of Safety, Quality, and Trust
Safety is a core value at REV. When working with high-voltage systems, there is no room for shortcuts, and REV’s dedication to safety is embedded in every aspect of its operations—from product design to installation and maintenance. This commitment to safety is matched by a rigorous focus on quality, ensuring that each project meets and indeed exceeds client expectations.
REV views its clients as strategic partners, working closely with them throughout the project lifecycle. The company’s project delivery assurance process ensures it fulfils its promises, fostering deep trust with its clients. Molstad believes this trust is a crucial reason clients return to REV time and again for their HV needs.
“We stand shoulder to shoulder with our clients,” he says, “developing solutions that are fit for purpose and delivering them on time, every time.”
One of REV’s recent success stories comes from the digital infrastructure space, a sector experiencing rapid growth in North America, particularly in Texas. With the demand for high-throughput data centers skyrocketing, REV was called upon to deliver a solution for a blockchain client facing power distribution challenges. The client’s facility required reliable interconnectivity with the utility provider to distribute power to various buildings housing high-density servers.
Many firms get carried away with their own perspective, but we spend time getting to know our clients, understanding their needs, and investing in long-term relationships
REV approached this challenge with its signature customer-centric philosophy, working closely with clients to assess their needs. The result was an innovative solution capable of handling 6000 Amps for large server loads—a product not previously seen in the industry. REV’s engineering team designed, built, and tested the product, incorporating advanced features such as infrared viewing windows, energy-reducing maintenance switches, and remote monitoring capabilities. Despite global supply chain challenges, including a copper deficiency, REV delivered 56 units on time and within budget, demonstrating the company’s ability to meet even the most demanding client needs.
Preparing for the Future
Looking ahead, Molstad sees rapid changes in the market as both a challenge and an opportunity. Global electricity demand continues to grow, driven by energy storage, aging infrastructure, and the transition to cleaner energy sources. REV is well-positioned to provide fit-for-purpose HV solutions that meet its clients’ evolving demands.
“As the demand increases,” Molstad says, “companies like REV that have the capacity and capability to deliver products within timeframes that meet client demands provide a significant advantage.”
Through ongoing investments in its people, facilities, and technology, REV is ensuring that it remains at the forefront of the high-voltage solutions industry. The company’s focus on innovation, client relationships, and a robust safety culture makes it a trusted partner for organizations looking to stay ahead in an increasingly complex and competitive market.
With a proven track record of delivering quality projects on time and within budget, REV is not just meeting the challenges of today but actively shaping the future of high-voltage solutions.
