Panhandle Power Solutions

What Panhandle Power Solutions does

Panhandle Power Solutions (PPS) is a U.S. engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm specializing in electrical power systems, renewable energy infrastructure, and mission-critical federal facilities. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Destin, Florida, the company operates across 14 states and one U.S. territory, delivering battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar, microgrids, and electrical infrastructure for clients including the Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency, NASA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Reconnaissance Office, as well as commercial utilities such as NextEra and Whetstone Power. The company reports 1.5+ GW of clean energy deployed, 900 MW of installed storage in ERCOT, and 500 MWh of storage projects under construction in 2024, with multi-OEM integration across CATL, Tesla Megapack, Sungrow, and HiTHIUM platforms.

Since 2019, PPS has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC), an Alaska Native Corporation, which provides SBA status preferences and access to a broader federal services portfolio. Revenue is generated through fixed-price and task-order federal contracts, EPC engagements with utilities and independent power producers, and IDIQ/MATOC vehicles — most notably a $99 million, five-year DHA MATOC awarded in December 2025, the company's first MATOC. Other recent awards include a $9.7 million NASA Kennedy Space Center contract (March 2025) and a $10 million USACE Omaha District contract. The firm employs between 251 and 500 people, reports 1M+ safe work hours, and is led by CEO Cagen Williams following an internal promotion from Director of Operations.
