Canadian leader in power distribution and modular energy systems
ModX Engineering Inc. is a Canadian-based leader in power distribution and modular energy systems. We specialize in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of advanced switchgear, switchboards, and prefabricated E-Houses.
Our mission is to deliver high-performance, scalable, and fully customizable power solutions that meet the evolving needs of global industries. From concept to commissioning, ModX provides end-to-end services to ensure reliability, safety, and future-ready energy infrastructure.
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, ModX proudly manufactures all solutions in Canada, adhering to the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Innovative solutions for modern power distribution challenges
At the core of every power distribution network lies dependable switchgear and switchboards. At ModX Engineering, we design and manufacture low and medium-voltage switchgear and switchboards to support mission-critical operations.
Our products ensure safe, efficient, and intelligent power flow—enabling end-users to scale and maintain infrastructure with minimal downtime.
What sets our switchgear and switchboards apart is their modular architecture, built for ease of integration and adaptability. Each unit is customizable in form and function, designed to house independently mounted or rack-based breakers, coupled transformers, and embedded smart sensors for real-time monitoring.
Our modular E-Houses are engineered as turnkey electrical substations housed in prefabricated, climate-controlled enclosures. These units integrate switchgear, transformers, HVAC, lighting, control systems, and communication infrastructure into a single, transportable package.
Designed for rapid deployment, E-Houses are ideal for remote or high-demand environments such as mining sites, oil and gas operations, data centers, and renewable energy installations. They significantly reduce on-site labor, construction costs, and commissioning time—offering clients unmatched flexibility and speed to market.
Every project is unique—and so is every power system we deliver. At ModX, we specialize in custom modular solutions designed around your project's power capacity, environmental conditions, and operational needs.
Our modular approach enables fast assembly, easier scalability, and reduced maintenance costs across the system lifecycle.
Our engineering team works closely with your project team to develop tailored systems that can include:
