For sponsors, developers and companies

We work alongside you, as a partner in the project.

For U.S. industrial projects of $100 million and above: we hold the state, utility and county relationships, we carry the public-side work of getting it built, and we take a position in the project alongside you.

Time to power a large load · months, by market

You are not choosing a state. You are buying a date.

The same 100 megawatts carries a different date in every market — and the date, not the tariff, is what moves your IRR.

We join the project team — and hold a position in the outcome

We do not sit outside the project as advisers. We join the project team, carry the public-side work, and hold a position in the outcome.

01We carry the public sideGovernors’ offices, energy offices, utilities and counties — the four relationships that set your date. We work them as a member of your project team, not as an introduction service.
02You keep the projectYours to control, on your governance. Our equity carries no control rights, no veto and no consent over operations.
03We hold a position in the outcomeWe come into the projects we assemble as a partner, not an adviser. Our standing depends on the project performing after the ribbon — the same test you are measured on, on the same timetable.

We are measured on one thing: whether the project reaches a date you can underwrite.

Site-selection firms optimise the search. We work the supply side — the state, the utility, the county — which is where your schedule is actually set.

Six deliverables, in the order that decides your project

A site without a power date is a liability, terms without consent are a headline, and capital arrives last — but only if the first five are answered.

  1. Power positionYou receive substation-level capacity and a date, confirmed in writing with the utility.Prevents discovering the upgrade cost in year two.
  2. Sites that survive diligenceYou receive control, title, geotechnical, wetlands and a costed utility path.Prevents buying schedule risk disguised as acreage.
  3. Terms that survive auditYou receive an award structure with verification mechanics and a net-benefit model.Prevents a clawback or an audit finding after the ribbon.
  4. Speed through approvalsYou receive a consent map: every approval, its owner and its date.Prevents sequential approvals that could have run in parallel.
  5. ConsentYou receive a stakeholder assessment and a documented community position.Prevents a county vote that ends the project.
  6. Capital and structureYou receive sources and uses with the state and the infrastructure lines placed.Prevents a funding gap discovered at final investment decision.

How we engage

  1. Send prerequisites

    Megawatts, acreage, water, workforce, date — not a site list.

  2. We come back with the states

    The states that can defend your date, before any participation letter exists.

  3. We join the project team

    We carry the public side and stay through the hearing, the vote and the ribbon.

  4. We take a position

    We come into the project as a partner, not an adviser, aligned to its delivery.

  5. Measured on delivery

    Our standing rises and falls with the project after the ribbon — not with the mandate.

05

How we hold ourselves

Aligned to the outcome

We hold a position in the projects we assemble, so our standing rises and falls with the project after the ribbon — not with the mandate.

The project stays yours

Our position carries no control rights, no veto and no consent over operations. You keep the project, on your governance.

Disclosed in writing

Every interest we hold is put in writing before an introduction is made, and we take no part in negotiating the terms it touches.
