Who We Are

As a licensed engineering and contracting firm and an established partner to utility programs, we develop and deliver comprehensive energy efficiency projects customized to the specific requirements of each facility. Our approach extends beyond basic upgrades, combining technical accuracy, responsiveness, and innovative thinking to produce solutions that perform reliably in real-world operating conditions.

We work across commercial, institutional, and public-sector environments, delivering high-efficiency systems aligned with the realities of daily operations. By understanding how buildings and infrastructure are actually used, we design solutions that lower energy and operational costs, reduce maintenance burdens, and improve system dependability.

From our early beginnings as a building management systems installer and specialty lighting contractor, Tri-State Energy has grown into a full-service engineering organization. Today, we offer a complete range of services including energy audits, MEP design, utility coordination, incentive management, and turnkey installation—allowing us to oversee each phase of a project seamlessly.

As we move toward our 50th year in business, our focus remains on integrity, precision, and client-focused execution. We do not rely on shortcuts, inflated pricing, or standardized solutions; instead, we deliver practical, sustainable, and cost-effective results tailored to each facility.

We are committed to engineering a more efficient future through dependable, high-performance energy solutions. Our projects are led by Professional Engineers (PEs), Certified Energy Managers (CEMs), and experienced project managers who collaborate to implement advanced technologies that meet performance goals, reduce maintenance requirements, and maximize available incentives. From federal rebates to state and utility programs, we ensure every eligible incentive is fully leveraged.

Under the leadership of CEO Tejas Desai, our team brings decades of experience in energy engineering, advanced technologies, program development, construction management, and utility partnerships. With a hands-on, client-first mindset, we blend strategic leadership with proven field expertise—remaining engaged, responsive, and accountable through every stage of the project lifecycle.
