Our Background

khaki-fern was established in 2014 by a group of engineers and energy consultants who recognized a gap in the market: municipalities needed partners who understood both the technical requirements of modern energy systems and the unique constraints of urban environments.

Over the past ten years, we have grown from a small consultancy into a full-service energy infrastructure company serving major cities from Vancouver to Halifax. Our team now includes electrical engineers, environmental specialists, project managers, and regulatory experts who work together to deliver complex projects on schedule and within budget.

We remain committed to our founding principle: every project should leave the community better positioned to meet its energy needs, today and in the decades ahead.

What Guides Our Work

The principles that shape how we approach every project.

Technical Excellence

We stay current with evolving technologies and standards, applying proven solutions while evaluating emerging approaches that may benefit our clients. Every system we design meets or exceeds applicable codes and industry best practices.

Practical Solutions

Urban environments present real constraints: limited space, existing infrastructure, budget cycles, and community considerations. We design systems that work within these realities, not against them.

Long-Term Thinking

Energy infrastructure typically operates for 20 to 30 years. We design with that lifespan in mind, considering maintenance requirements, technology evolution, and changing demand patterns from the start.

Our Approach to Projects

Every engagement begins with understanding the specific context: existing infrastructure, operational requirements, budget parameters, and timeline constraints. We gather this information through site visits, stakeholder interviews, and technical assessments.

From there, we develop options that address the stated objectives while accounting for factors that may not be immediately apparent. Our recommendations include realistic cost projections, implementation timelines, and expected performance metrics.

During implementation, our project managers coordinate with contractors, utility providers, and municipal departments to keep work on track. After commissioning, we provide documentation and training to ensure operations staff can maintain the system effectively.
