What MTV Solutions does

MTV Solutions, Inc. is a privately held, New England-based electrical power-line contractor founded in September 2010 by Tom Keough and headquartered in Holbrook, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Windsor Locks, Connecticut and Carver, Massachusetts (the latter operating under the D.A.D. Line Construction sub-brand following a May 2019 merger). The company delivers comprehensive power line services to utility companies, including overhead and underground distribution, transmission infrastructure, substation construction, URD developments, high/low voltage construction and maintenance, overhead-to-underground conversion, traffic signals and lighting, telecommunications, tree trimming, and engineering design. Its core technology stack spans conventional line construction equipment alongside a dedicated Aerial Solutions drone inspection division deploying FAA Part 107 certified pilots with DJI Matrice 210 V2 drones equipped with FLIR thermal and 30x optical zoom visual sensors for transmission, distribution, substation, pipeline, and storage tank inspections.

MTV operates a field-sales-led go-to-market model targeting large and small power companies across the United States, with a customer roster that includes AEP, National Grid, Eversource, LIPA, NSTAR, PPL, First Energy, NYSEG/RGE, CMP, DTE, Southern Companies, UNITIL, PECO, PEPCO, ApCo, and Northeast Utilities, alongside solar contractors and private-sector clients such as Cape Cod Technical High School and New Bedford Waterworks. Revenue is generated through professional-services contracts for ongoing power line maintenance and construction, supplemented by 24/7 emergency storm restoration work with nationwide mobilization capability within hours of a call. Pricing is project-based with free estimates and multi-year contract structures; specific rates are not publicly disclosed. The company employs 580 full-time equivalents, supplemented by IBEW union affiliation that provides access to additional qualified craft labor for surge response, and reports 725,000+ cumulative storm manhours and a Worker's Compensation EMR of 0.71.
