DEVELOPMENT

OUR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

At Balanced Rock Power, we’re committed to a development process that is honest, upfront, and respectful to all those involved. Our team is dedicated to doing what’s best for landowners and their communities, and will always conduct business in a responsible manner.

“

We’re forthright with landowners. If we conduct a survey on your property, we share all of those results with you.”

~ John Knight, CEO

In it for the long term

While we’re focused on developing new energy projects, we take the long-term view with each project, knowing they will be operating for decades.

Our experience guiding projects from start to finish gives us a strong understanding of project viability and guides our decision-making process when it comes to land acquisition and leases.

We undertake a lot of upfront work, analysis and diligence in identifying possible locations for our projects. That means we may not always look at the most “obvious” locations — we see potential that maybe others don’t.

If we don’t think a project has a strong chance to move forward, we won’t develop it. So, when we approach landowners, we already know we are serious about moving a project forward. While there will always be many challenges, we prefer to focus our efforts fully on a few projects rather than thinly across many, in the hope that something will stick. Wasting time — yours or ours — is not something we do!

Where we develop

Balanced Rock Power’s energy development is currently focused in the West, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Our process

Identify areas and land that have good potential for energy development and a viable way to connect to the electric grid (a.k.a. interconnection).
Identify and engage with landowners, securing rights to lease or purchase the land for a project.
Secure a position in the interconnection study queue (which determines when we will be able to connect the project).
Design and outline project scope.
Work on permitting and approvals, finalize real estate transactions.
Secure final approvals and financing, then construction of the project begins.
After construction is complete, the project begins operations.

“

It’s your land and we know how important it is to you. Each project gets 110% of our attention.”
