Connect Energy

In 2019, Connect Talent Solutions was born from a clear vision: to revolutionize how companies connect with exceptional talent, particularly within the cleared community. The founders recognized that traditional staffing approaches often failed to understand the unique needs of both employers and job seekers in specialized sectors like cybersecurity, engineering, and government contracting. They saw an opportunity to create a more targeted, culture-focused recruitment solution that would bridge the gap between skilled professionals and dynamic organizations. Since its founding, Connect Talent Solutions has evolved into a trusted partner for businesses seeking tailored staffing solutions. The company specializes in connecting great talent with great employers in the most efficient manner possible, offering contract, contract-to-perm, and direct placement options. From executive management to general labor, their deep expertise spans diverse industries, ensuring that every placement is not just a job filled, but a lasting professional connection that benefits both parties.

In 1951, TC Energy began its journey as TransCanada Corporation with a vision to build essential energy infrastructure that would power North America's growth. From those early days in Calgary, Alberta, the founders recognized something fundamental: reliable energy transportation would be the backbone of economic prosperity across the continent. They set out to create networks that could safely and efficiently deliver the energy people needed - where they needed it, when they needed it. Over seven decades, that initial spark has evolved into one of North America's leading energy infrastructure companies, with operations spanning Canada, the United States and Mexico. Today, TC Energy's 94,000-kilometer natural gas pipeline network delivers more than 25% of the natural gas consumed daily across North America, heating homes, fueling industries and generating power. Beyond pipelines, the company generates approximately 4,650 megawatts of electricity, with over 75% coming from low-carbon sources including nuclear and renewables. The 2019 transformation from TransCanada to TC Energy marked a pivotal moment, better reflecting the company's comprehensive scope and position as a continental energy leader. In 2024, TC Energy completed the strategic spinoff of its Liquids Pipelines business as South Bow, positioning both companies to pursue focused growth strategies while continuing to meet the evolving energy needs of millions of North Americans.

ON.energy builds the power infrastructure that makes the AI era possible. As AI demand surges past what traditional grids and data centers can support, ON.energy delivers a new class of power technology proven at gigawatt scale. The company's systems are deployed across 2.5 GW of hyperscale campuses, validated by top U.S. national labs, and certified for grid-safe operation by major utilities. The company develops, engineers, constructs, commissions, and operates hybrid and standalone energy storage solutions for both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter applications. With proprietary technology including the On.Command Energy Management System, ON.energy transforms power from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage for cloud and AI companies, utilities, and industrial clients across North and Latin America.

LUMA Energy operates Puerto Rico's entire transmission and distribution infrastructure - 52,000 miles of lines serving 1.5 million customers across the island. Formed in 2021 as a partnership between ATCO and Quanta Services, the company inherited aging grid assets and a disaster recovery mandate worth over $51 billion. The threat model here is clear: hurricane-prone geography, cascading outage risk, and the operational complexity of modernizing critical infrastructure under live-fire conditions. The tech stack reflects that reality - NERC CIP compliance, NIST Cybersecurity Framework alignment, and operational technology layers including ADMS, EMS, and AMI deployments that touch everything from smart meters to distributed generation integration. The cybersecurity surface is broad and consequential. LUMA manages outage response systems, customer-facing digital tools like the Mi LUMA app, and a communications backbone spanning microwave RF, DMR, and cellular wireless networks. Distribution automation and grid modernization initiatives mean more networked endpoints, more attack vectors, and a regulatory environment that doesn't forgive lapses in NERC CIP posture. The workforce includes engineers, lineworkers, and technical specialists navigating both physical and digital resilience challenges - outage management isn't just IT ops, it's life-safety infrastructure with real-time stakes. Scale matters: operations span 165,000 square miles and over 300 jurisdictions, leveraging parent company experience across 100 countries and nearly 50,000 combined employees. The work involves securing operational technology in a high-consequence environment where grid failures have immediate public impact, and where disaster recovery program management intersects directly with cyber resilience planning. This is infrastructure security where the grid, the threat landscape, and the recovery timeline are all moving targets.

The world faces an urgent climate crisis that demands transformative energy solutions. Type One Energy exists to meet this challenge by commercializing stellarator fusion power - a clean, abundant energy source that can decarbonize global electricity systems. Climate change isn't a distant threat; it's happening now, and the transition to sustainable energy requires technologies that can provide reliable, carbon-free power at the scale humanity needs. Traditional approaches to fusion have been too complex and expensive, leaving us without the practical clean energy solution our planet requires. Type One Energy is solving this problem by applying proven advanced manufacturing methods, modern computational physics, and high-field superconducting magnets to build optimized stellarator fusion systems. The company's FusionDirect development program represents the lowest-risk, shortest-schedule path to a fusion power plant, using a partner-intensive and capital-efficient strategy to bring fusion power to the grid within this decade. Founded in 2019 by globally-recognized fusion scientists and veteran business leaders, Type One Energy bridges the gap between laboratory research and commercial deployment, working toward a future where every city across the globe has access to clean, affordable fusion power.
