Since we last featured Rising
Edge in July 2024, the company has witnessed the ever-evolving sector become even more dynamic and critical as it shapes a global economic future.
“The industry continues to change, from sector actions and government policies to market trends,” introduces Jason King, President.
“Our team is optimistic about the growth and opportunities presented,
and we’re geared up for the expansion of our existing presence in the US.”
What sets Rising Edge apart from the competition is its ability to deliver integrated, end-to-end high-voltage solutions under one roof, alongside its people, proven track record, and reputation.
This, combined with its clientfocused approach, ensures Rising Edge aligns with its clients’ goals
while minimizing risk, reducing costs, and delivering long-term value in a mutually beneficial partnership.
“Rising Edge and this industry will always be exciting – whether adapting our strategic business plan or supporting the improvement of our operations, I look forward to coming into work daily,” enthuses King.
EXPANSION INTO THE US MARKET
Currently, Rising Edge is focused on maximizing its service offerings to the Midwest and Southeastern regions of the US, foreseeing a significant expansion of the large-scale power generation projects it is strategically positioned to capitalize on.
“Our crafted expansion into the US market is driven by vast opportunities to support aging infrastructure, grid modernization, and the integration of new power generation sources,” informs King.
“WE SAY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO AND ENSURE WE MEET OR EXCEED OUR PROMISE. WE AIM TO BE HONEST, TRANSPARENT, AND ACCOUNTABLE – KEY TENETS IN BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY”
– JASON KING, PRESIDENT, RISING EDGE GROUP
“As demand for reliable electricity grows, there’s a critical need for specialized expertise to help strengthen and futureproof the electrical grid.”
Rising Edge further distinguishes itself from other service providers already operating in the US through a variety of means.
Most importantly, it is a one-stop shop, meaning it provides clients with conceptual designs, EPC solutions, commissioning and testing, and maintenance support.
These factors minimize the need for subcontractors, reducing risks, costs, and delays regardless of the size, location, and complexity of a project.
Additionally, the company offers a consolidated experience, a specialized workforce, and high safety and quality standards, which allow it to execute complex projects efficiently and reliably.
“We were founded and continue to operate with safety and quality at the forefront of everything we do. This is backed by our industry-leading safety record and the fact that we have not received a non-compliance notice from our clients in 23 years of operation,” details King.

Jason King, President: “Safety is at the core of everything we do, and we maintain high standards through rigorous training, proactive hazard identification, and a strong safety culture reinforced at every level of the organization.
“Our dedicated health, safety, and environment (HSE) team implements industry-leading practices, continuous improvement programs, and real-time safety monitoring to ensure every project is executed with zero compromise to the well-being of our people, partners, and the communities we serve.”
Equally, Rising Edge expertly navigates regulatory differences and compliance requirements across various states through its specialized team, which supports executive actions and decisions when expanding into new regions.
“This team, consisting of legal subject matter experts, helps to research, collect, and present all the requirements and needs for our company to successfully apply for and receive approval for contractor licenses where we operate,” expands King.
The regulatory differences and requirements between states make
it imperative for Rising Edge to strategize, research, and plan for all expansion efforts.
STRENGTHENING THE WORKFORCE
Building strong relationships is crucial in the energy and utilities industry, and Rising Edge emphasizes fostering long-term partnerships with its US clients.
“We firmly believe that by being a client-first operation, our preconstruction efforts and discussions are always backed by our team’s execution,” informs King.

“We actively recognize contributions through performancebased incentives, internal shout-outs, and employee spotlight initiatives that celebrate individual and team achievements,” dictates King.
Similarly, the company participates in corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices as a growing part of its operations, alongside its commitment to building respectful, collaborative relationships with Indigenous communities.
More specifically, it is focused on meaningful engagement, employment opportunities, and economic participation through using Indigenous-owned vendors and subcontractors where applicable.
“We will continue to have open dialogue, identify opportunities, and engage in meaningful actions that will support and benefit Indigenous communities, lands, and people wherever our work takes us,” declares King.
Rising Edge’s long-term vision is to position the company as a leader in the evolving energy transition of North America.
Its role is shifting into that of a key contributor helping to bridge the gap between traditional infrastructure and the next generation of energy solutions.
The company is ready to support these goals by providing the expertise
and integrated services needed to modernize the grid, connect new energy sources, and ensure reliable power delivery in a rapidly changing landscape.
Additionally, Rising Edge is seeking to continue the growth it has witnessed over recent years, which has allowed it to reach an employee count of over 650 to date, up from 400 in 2023.
The company is excited to keep this momentum going as it expands its service offerings in the US and builds upon existing utility relationships.
“We see ourselves as the partner who can help clients reach their goals while achieving our mission and vision of delivering energy infrastructure solutions by being the industry leaders behind stability and advancements across North America,” proudly concludes King.
