AGBARA STRENGTHENS WSB’S POWER / ENERGY SERVICES AND OFFERINGS
October 20, 2025
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. — WSB LLC (“WSB”), one of the nation’s fastest growing infrastructure engineering and consulting firms, today announced the acquisition of Agbara Engineering (“Agbara”), a forward-thinking power delivery engineering firm committed to powering progress and empowering communities. The strategic addition of Agbara enhances the firm’s ability to support the full lifecycle of energy infrastructure for existing and new clients.
“The acquisition of Agbara Engineering marks a pivotal moment in WSB’s journey to build a national energy practice,” said Bret Weiss, WSB’s president and chief executive officer. “Agbara’s deep expertise in transmission, distribution, and substation design perfectly complements our existing capabilities and allows us to deliver more comprehensive, future-focused solutions to our clients. Together, we’re not just expanding our services—we’re empowering our teams, strengthening our culture, and positioning WSB as a leader in the power/energy space. I’m incredibly excited about what we’ll build together.”
The acquisition of Agbara brings more than 50 employees into WSB. Combined, WSB operates from over 50 offices with nearly 1,600 employees nationwide to serve its clients across the government, commercial and energy markets.
“Joining WSB is an exciting step forward for Agbara Engineering,” said Jamil Newell, founder and chief executive officer of Agbara. “We’ve always believed in engineering with purpose, and now we have the opportunity to scale that impact alongside a firm that shares our values and vision. This partnership gives our clients access to expanded services and deeper resources, while our staff gain new opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation. Together, we’re building something bigger—an energy/power practice that’s positioned to lead and evolve with the future.”
WSB and Agbara will unify their market strategy as WSB in early 2026. This marks WSB’s fifth acquisition in two years, having recently acquired EST, AE Engineering, Meshek & Associates, and CAS Consulting & Services, expanding WSB’s expertise across transportation, engineering, water resources, and construction management.
