The work
Development is the retirement of risk, in a fixed order.
A project's value is not created by building it. It is created by removing, one milestone at a time, every reason a lender or owner could say no. We run that sequence and hand over the package at the end of it.
Gate by gate
Every stage has one output, and it either exists or it doesn’t.
Development goes wrong when stages are run in parallel to save time and none of them finishes. We treat each gate as a binary: there is a deliverable, a third party can inspect it, and until it exists the next stage does not start.
- D1
Origination
Land, resource and grid screening across target counties.
- D2
Site control
Options, leases and easements executed with every parcel owner.
- D3
Interconnection
Queue position secured, studies managed through to an interconnection agreement.
- D4
Permitting
County and state approvals, environmental and cultural review.
- D5
Offtake
PPA, hedge or a defensible merchant case with a credible counterparty.
- D6
Engineering & procurement
Design basis fixed, EPC scope priced, long-lead equipment slots reserved.
- D7
Notice to proceed
Financeable package assembled and transferred to the owner who builds it.
Where it ends
We are developers, not asset managers.
Our work ends the day construction starts. That is a deliberate boundary: it keeps the incentive on delivering a package that survives third-party diligence, rather than on holding an asset whose problems can be managed later. The buyer inherits a project, not a list of open items.
What transfers at notice to proceed
- Executed land rights across every parcel in the project boundary
- Interconnection agreement with defined POI and network upgrade cost
- Full entitlement package with conditions of approval tracked to closure
- Contracted or hedged revenue, or a documented merchant case
- Priced EPC scope and reserved long-lead equipment slots
- The complete diligence record, organised for a lender’s review
Who we hand it to
Independent power producers, utility affiliates, infrastructure funds and strategic owners who build and hold generation. Some acquire at notice to proceed; others take construction takeout under terms agreed earlier in development.
Where a partner has funded development, the transfer mechanics and economics were set at entry — not negotiated under time pressure at the end.
