Land Acquisition – The land team is the first in the field. This team helps to build the underlying project position working regularly with the local owners to find the perfect spot and get the necessary permissions
Real Estate – What the land acquisition team buys or leases, the real estate team makes perfect. Did grandpa really have the right to give that land parcel to his best friend? As we build the projects, it’s the real estate team that is most likely to detect any differences between where we said we were digging a hole or building a road and where we did it
Permitting – many authorities must agree to our renewable projects (cities and states, protectors of the local flora and fauna, owners of the electric grid, the FAA and sometimes the Navajo nation). This group coordinates the interaction and permitting process with them all
Interconnection – projects are cool to visit but the secret sauce is in connecting them to the almost impossible to comprehend electrical grid. This group accomplishes that goal filing new queue positions, managing the integration of our power to the grid and ultimately helping us to understand how we can do the same better and faster on the next project
Strategic Development – this group crafts the company’s long-term strategy selecting the states and regions that we want to enter 3 – 5 years before the origination team sells the power. Heavier on research and strategy and less project specific than some other groups
Trading, Markets and Pricing – This group is the analytical core of the dev team providing a wide suite of services ranging from creation of the underlying financial models, assessment of the quantifiable risks in our contracts and in the long-term managing the revenue of our market based trades.
