DE-RISK, EXPEDITE, AND INCREASE PROJECT VOLUME

Clean Grid Development originates battery storage and solar projects across the country. We identify the right land on the right infrastructure, then evaluate each opportunity across infrastructure, environmental, and market fundamentals on behalf of our development partners. Our land team has executed over a thousand agreements across the country and brings senior-level development experience to every project we take on.

Why Clean Grid Development?

Senior Development Team

We are senior project developers who have worked with and for large, vertically integrated renewable energy companies. We understand front-end land acquisition, project DEVEX/CAPEX economics, and the programs and market plays our partners target. We speak the language of the people reviewing our work.

Proprietary Origination Platform

Clean Grid Development runs on a custom-built platform that unifies infrastructure analysis, ownership and contact research, outreach campaign management, and partner-facing deal rooms. It's how a small senior team consistently delivers the volume of a much larger one.

Land Acquisition Track Record

Over a thousand executed land-use agreements with leading renewable energy developers. Our land team brings depth, discipline, and a documented history of getting projects to site control on schedule.

Originated, Not Just Sourced

We don't just identify parcels and hand them off. We carry every opportunity through screening, outreach, negotiation, and execution — so what our partners receive is a project ready to develop, not a lead to qualify.

Site Control Negotiation and Acquisition

At Clean Grid, we run every opportunity through 60+ GIS layers organized around the four questions that actually determine whether a project moves forward.

Grid & Interconnection. Substations, transmission lines (existing and planned), power plants, existing solar and wind generation, queued and operating renewable projects, FERC and ISO regions, NERC regions, IOU and cooperative service territories, oil and gas pipelines, road and highway networks.

Environmental & Land Constraints. Wetlands, hydric soils, watershed boundaries, hydrology, flood hazards, water table and bedrock depth, elevation contours and 3D slope, wildfire hazard, critical habitats, conservation easements, prime farmland and crop productivity, land cover, soil type, existing and abandoned mines, mineral resources, oil and gas wells, superfund sites.

Community, Land Use & Regulatory. County and township boundaries, municipal boundaries, parcel and building footprints, solar and storage ordinances, FAA airspace and airport proximity, public and protected lands, federal/state/tribal lands, historic places, cultural landmarks, TNC lands.

Tax Credit & Demographic Overlays. IRA Energy Communities, CDFI Opportunity Zones, LMI Tracts, Distressed Communities Index, Census Tracts, population density.
