What AWS Truepower does

AWS Truepower is a global renewable energy engineering and advisory firm founded in 1981 and headquartered in Albany, New York; the firm today operates as part of UL Solutions' Renewables division (legal entity UL LLC, DBA UL Solutions). Its core activity is science-driven renewable energy assessment, testing, certification, and software for wind, solar, and offshore wind projects. The offering spans the full project lifecycle — feasibility and resource assessment, due diligence, project development support, financing-stage technical advisory, testing and certification of equipment and projects, operational monitoring and optimization, and lifetime extension of aging assets.

The product portfolio is bifurcated between (a) professional/advisory services — including Renewables Asset Advisory, Solar and Wind Project Due Diligence, Solar/Wind Testing Inspection and Certification, Industrial Battery and Energy Storage Services, EV Charging Infrastructure Services, and Sustainability/Environmental advisory — and (b) a proprietary software suite covering Openwind (wind farm modeling and layout), Windographer (wind resource data analytics and visualization), Windnavigator (high-resolution wind data and feasibility), RAMP (real-time monitoring and analytics SaaS), RRAP (preliminary resource assessment), and HOMER (microgrid and hybrid power modeling).

The business model combines project-based professional services (advisory, testing, certification) with recurring SaaS subscriptions across the software portfolio. The firm serves project developers and operators of utility-scale wind, solar, and offshore wind farms globally, working either as technical adviser or as a software vendor enabling customers to run assessments independently. Customer logos include Ørsted (1.1 GW German offshore wind certification), ERG (first Wind Turbine Lifetime Extension Certificate), and a 108 MW Chilean solar developer (technical due diligence). Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales, supplemented by industry events, webinars, news/earned media, and technical content such as the Wind and Solar Trends Bulletin.
