About Apara Solutions
Industry: Electric Power Transmission, Control, and Distribution
Company size: 51-200 employees
Based at Shell’s Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam, we support clients in oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, chemicals, data centres, infrastructure, pharma , EV charging, BESS, hydrogen, and industrial energy transition projects. Facing grid congestion, limited capacity, unstable operations, or complex electrification challenges? APARA can help you identify where capacity, reliability, and performance can be improved -often within the infrastructure you already have. Energy transition projects do not fail because of ambition. They fail when complex technologies meet real-world infrastructure. APARA bridges that gap with practical electrical engineering, automation, protection, and EPC expertise. At APARA, we solve the electrical challenges that slow down growth, production, and energy transition. When companies face grid congestion, limited connection capacity, unstable operations, ageing assets, protection issues, or lack of senior engineering capacity, we help them find practical, technically robust solutions. Our expertise helps customers to: • Unlock hidden electrical capacity • Reduce congestion and avoid unnecessary CAPEX • Improve grid stability and operational resilience • Prevent shutdowns and cascading electrical faults • Integrate EV charging, BESS, renewables, hydrogen, and smart energy systems • Deliver projects faster with one responsible engineering partner We combine E&I/A engineering EPC, ETAP power studies, protection coordination, SEL protection relays, zenon SCADA, PLC/RTU panel manufacturing, and senior engineering expertise to support projects from concept to commissioning.
