KMB Design Group, a full-service engineering firm based in Wall Township, New Jersey, has acquired substantially all the assets of Hurricane Hill Development Company (H2DC).
H2DC is an electrical engineering firm specializing in renewable energy design, utility-scale solar, battery energy storage, data center power systems, and telecommunications infrastructure. The transaction closed July 31, 2026.
Founded in 2003 by Mike McGuire, H2DC designed more than 2.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity, served more than 130 active clients, and held professional engineering licensure in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. McGuire joins KMB as Senior Vice President and will lead the firm’s New Hampshire operations.
The combination creates a 75-person national engineering platform spanning solar, battery storage, EV charging, data center power, fiber and outside plant, and MEP engineering.
“Solar and storage engineering is not a new market for us — it is one of our strongest practices, and demand from data center buildout, grid modernization, and storage deployment is outrunning what the engineering community can supply,” said Stephen A. Bray, P.E., founder and CEO of KMB Design Group, in a statement. “This acquisition puts serious additional horsepower behind a capability we already deliver at scale.”
KMB has designed more than 7.5 GW of solar across more than 2,800 projects nationwide, bringing the combined firm’s solar engineering experience to more than 10 GW.
The acquisition comes as demand for licensed electrical engineering capacity has accelerated sharply across North America, driven by AI-related data center development, grid modernization, storage deployment, and electrification competing for a limited pool of qualified engineers.
