Utilities and lenders can't find the leaders who know your queue cold.

Every business day, our people post, comment, and reach out in your leaders' voices, so partners and decision makers know them before the first meeting.

What partners see when they look up your leaders

Developers need landowners, utilities, lenders, and offtakers long before they need customers. Those people look up your leaders before they take a meeting, and often there is not much to read.

  • A signed PPA that nobody heard about

    You closed financing or energized a site, and the profile did not change. The lender who looks you up next year sees a title and an old post.

  • Long cycles with long silences

    Development takes years, and between milestones nobody outside the deal hears from you. Contacts cool off and have to be won back.

  • The expertise stays in the field

    Your interconnection lead and construction managers know what the market wants to learn. Nothing they know shows up in public.

How lenders and utilities see your leaders online

Step 1Your name comes upAn introduction, an RFP, a conference, or a search
Step 2They look your leaders upOn LinkedIn, before the meeting
Stale profileJob title for a headline, last post in March

Visible profileClear headline, recent work, active this week
ResultYour leaders are known before the meeting
The other side of a queue position call, a financing, or a large-load deal searches the people across the table. Plain explanations of real milestones make you look steady. A profile with just a title makes you look like a stranger. Whether your name came from an introduction, a filing, RE+, or a referral, that profile is what they judge it by.

What the quiet stretches look like with someone on it

We rebuild each leader's profile and take over the daily work of posting, commenting, and making new connections with utilities, lenders, landowners, and offtakers you chose. Your counsel can set the approval level, and anything held for review stays held.

The point is to keep your leaders in front of a small circle of decision makers through the quiet stretches. Your market decides who calls. When someone does, the message reaches the right desk within one business day.

  • Public milestones, like a PPA or an energization, are explained in plain terms
  • Contacts from earlier projects stay warm through long silences
  • Your interconnection and grid experts become known for what they know
  • Real messages from partners and lenders are sorted from the pitches
  • Each leader gives about 15 minutes a week and sees every action

What a developer or EPC can say in public

We only speak to what is public, and your general counsel decides what stays private.

  • Queue progress and interconnection milestones, once they are public
  • Signed PPAs, financing closes, and energization dates, explained plainly
  • Regulatory rulings and what they change for developers and landowners
  • Large-load demand from data centers, seen from the supply side
  • Transformer, switchgear, and breaker lead times, from your procurement lead's desk
  • Community meetings and landowner relations, with the people who ran them
  • Lineworker, electrician, and apprentice hiring
  • Event threads from RE+, ACORE, EEI, and American Clean Power, before and after
  • 12posts a month for each leader, drafted in their voice and cleared by you
  • 10comments a business day on utilities, lenders, landowners, and offtakers you picked
  • 160new, targeted connection requests a month to partners and decision makers
  • 1business day to put a real partner message on the right desk

Developers and EPCs this fits

A good fit

  • Projects are large and long, and a small circle of people who talk to each other decides
  • You need partners (landowners, utilities, lenders, offtakers) before you need customers
  • Counsel will review posts at a sensible level and leaders can spare 15 minutes a week
  • A new region, a queue position, or a data center load announcement makes this the year to be known

Probably not a fit

  • An early-stage developer with no capital and no project in motion
  • A firm in active litigation or a regulatory dispute
  • A legal team that blocks all public comment
  • You want a promised count of introductions or meetings

What power leaders ask

Our general counsel worries about public statements. How do you handle that?

We write only about what is public. If counsel wants to see every post first, we hold each one until it is cleared.

Do utilities and lenders pay attention to LinkedIn?

Many look up the people they are about to meet. We make sure what they find is current.

Our leaders are in meetings with ISOs and lenders all day. Can this work?

One voice interview, and roughly 15 minutes a week to approve. Where counsel does not ask to clear every post, a draft with no reply in 48 hours goes out as written.

Can you keep a project confidential until we announce it?

Yes. We do not mention a project until you tell us it is public.

Others in the energy build

Be the name partners already know

Twenty minutes. We talk through your development cycle, look up your leaders together, and tell you if LinkedIn is not where your partners decide.
