Community and utility-scale development

The development sequence

From first evaluation to construction handoff.

01

Evaluate the land

Work starts with a precise evaluation of the site's potential for solar, wind, gas, or geothermal generation.

02

Lease or purchase

Once a location is validated, we work with the landowner on either a lease or a sale of the land.

03

Studies and engineering

We run title searches, environmental studies, ALTA surveys, and generation systems engineering.

04

Utilities and permitting

Power supply, grid interconnection, county approvals, and state permitting move forward together.

05

Handoff to construction

Completed projects are turned over to EPC contractors for construction.
