Our engagement models

FAQs

Common questions.

Do you aggregate land directly?

We lead land identification and aggregation strategy and work with on-ground partners and legal advisers on title and documentation.

Can you help with ISTS grid connectivity?

Yes, from substation selection and connectivity strategy to application planning, timelines and risk, working within the applicable CERC framework.

Are you an EPC contractor?

No. We advise on commercial strategy and contracts; EPC is delivered by contractors.

How are land and connectivity deals paid?

Typically a monthly retainer plus a success fee on transaction, agreed upfront.

Do you include carbon and REC revenues in project economics?

Yes. Where relevant, we build environmental-attribute revenues into the investment case.
