About

We support project developers and owners navigating regulatory requirements, procurement processes, and evolving policy frameworks across the energy sector.

With a strong focus on ITC Labour Compliance under Canada’s Clean Economy Investment Tax Credit framework, Compass helps project teams implement structured compliance processes and manage the documentation required to secure the full value of available tax credits.

Our Approach

Energy infrastructure projects involve large teams, complex documentation, and strict regulatory requirements. Compass provides the structure, organization, and regulatory expertise needed to help project teams manage these complexities effectively.

Our approach combines:

• Deep regulatory expertise in energy markets
• Engineering and technical project experience
• Developer-side perspective
• Strong attention to detail
• Independent advisory support

By working closely with project developers and their partners, Compass helps ensure that compliance requirements are clearly understood, properly implemented, and consistently maintained throughout project development and construction.

Our Experience

Compass has supported energy infrastructure projects across Canada and North America, including renewable energy procurements and emerging energy sectors.

Our experience includes helping project teams manage complex procurement bids and navigate evolving regulatory frameworks that affect energy project development.

As Canada’s Clean Economy ITC framework expands to support clean technology, carbon capture, and hydrogen development, Compass works with project developers to interpret labour compliance requirements and implement practical processes that support project eligibility.

Our History

Compass Energy Consulting was founded in 2011 by Jim McDougall to support energy developers navigating complex procurement and regulatory environments.

The firm later transitioned under new ownership and continues to evolve in support of emerging areas of the energy transition, including compliance under Canada’s Clean Economy Investment Tax Credit framework.

Our Mission

Compass Energy Consulting was founded in 2011 to provide independent advisory services to energy project developers navigating complex regulatory and procurement environments.

Today, our mission remains the same: to help energy project stakeholders reduce risk and secure value.

We do this by bringing structure, clarity, and technical expertise to the processes that matter most to project success.

Our Team

Compass is a specialized team with experience in energy markets, regulatory frameworks, and complex project coordination.
