Development
Strong development work addresses site, resource, permitting, interconnection, commercial, and delivery risk before construction begins.
Development
Development begins by defining the opportunity and testing the conditions that could create or prevent value.
Land agreements and stakeholder expectations should match the project’s study, permitting, financing, construction, access, and operating needs.
Environmental review, agency approvals, utility studies, grid upgrades, operating requirements, and schedule dependencies must be managed as connected workstreams.
Power sales, equipment strategy, financing, contracting, risk allocation, and construction readiness bring the project toward an executable investment decision.
Development is where a project’s economics are set. Interconnection position, land control, permitting pathway and offtake structure are largely fixed before construction begins, and none of them can be meaningfully improved by execution later.
Screening exists to kill weak sites cheaply. A structured screen applied early costs a fraction of a feasibility study and prevents development capital being spent proving what a map could have shown.
Feasibility converts assumptions into tested positions. The objective is not a favourable answer but an accurate one, documented well enough that the next investment decision can be made on it.
Permitting timelines are driven by the review triggered, not by the application submitted. Identifying the correct trigger early, and engaging the community and agencies before positions harden, is usually what separates a schedule that holds from one that slips.
A technically sound project still requires a revenue structure a counterparty will underwrite. Commercial work runs in parallel with technical development rather than after it, because offtake terms change what the project should be built to do.
Development ends properly when its decisions, constraints and open risks transfer intact into design and construction. Undocumented assumptions are the most common source of avoidable change orders.

It is the work required to convert an opportunity into a defined project with site rights, technical assumptions, permits, interconnection, commercial arrangements, financing logic, and a delivery plan.
There is rarely only one. Site, interconnection, permitting, equipment, offtake, financing, schedule, and stakeholder risks can interact, so the critical path must be reviewed project by project.
Construction readiness generally requires mature design, site access, permits, interconnection clarity, commercial contracts, financing, procurement plans, risk ownership, schedule integration, and an approved execution plan.
Location, technology, approximate capacity, current development stage, site-control status, interconnection status, known constraints and the decision you are trying to reach.
Often. Stalled projects usually fail on one specific constraint — an interconnection result, a permitting trigger or a land position. The first step is identifying which, because that determines whether the project is recoverable.
TGP works on both structures. The appropriate arrangement depends on the stage of the opportunity and the objectives of the parties already involved.
By sequencing spend against the constraints most likely to end the project. Capital is committed to later-stage work only once the earlier constraints have been tested.
