Practical guidance on the parts of energy development that most often determine whether a project advances — written for people making the next decision, not for search engines.

Most energy project failures are not technical surprises. They are known constraints that were understood too late, priced wrong, or assumed away. These notes cover the constraints we see stop projects most often, and what to check before relying on an assumption.
Grid access is the longest-lead item on most projects and the least controllable. Understanding what a queue position actually secures — and what it does not — changes how a development programme should be sequenced.
Interconnection queues explainedThe federal incentive framework shapes project economics, and its rules change. Knowing the structure — and knowing which values must be verified against current guidance rather than assumed — protects a financial model from silent obsolescence.
The federal incentive frameworkStorage projects are governed by codes that did not exist a decade ago and continue to evolve. Fire code, siting separation and commissioning requirements drive layout and cost more than most developers expect.
Storage codes and standardsA production estimate is a probability distribution, not a number. How P50 and P90 are derived, and what uncertainty is folded into each, determines what a lender will size debt against.

Detail
No. These notes are general. Project-specific guidance depends on facts particular to the site, jurisdiction and commercial structure, and requires a written engagement.
Each note states when it was last reviewed. Where a rule changes frequently — incentive values, queue procedures, code editions — the note explains the mechanism and directs you to the issuing authority for current values rather than restating numbers that will age.
Yes. If a constraint keeps coming up in your projects and is not covered here, tell us and we will look at it.
