What We Do
- Invest in strategic parcels near transmission, substations, and fiber for long-term growth.
- Permit zoning, environmental, easements, and access.
- Energise with interconnection design, substation paths, and scalable capacity.
- Monetise via sale, JV, or lease to developers, hyperscalers, and operators.
