Development Approach

The most successful business models in the energy industry will be those that can most effectively balance the needs of the three competing dynamics: speed, cost, and clean. El Cap’s development platform is exclusively focused on developing diverse and complementary assets that are designed to be packaged together to create bespoke products for the specific needs of data center assets.

Speed to Power

Bring Your Own Generation (“BYOG”)
El Cap develops data center and generation projects in coordination to ensure efficient power supply. This “power first” approach reduces the need to rely on slow moving electric utilities, reducing overall development timelines as well as regulatory risk.
El Cap uses a disciplined analytical approach allows it to identify supply and demand imbalances to originate valuable opportunities then nimbly create a competitive moat.

Creative Products

Power Supply Packages
El Cap takes a technology-agnostic approach to package complementary generation resources that optimize the power solution for a specific opportunity. Combining technologies such renewables, BESS, gas, hydro, geothermal, and transmission allows El Cap to balance speed, cost, and clean attributes most efficiently.
El Cap’s team has been creating bespoke generation products for customers for decades and understands the nuances of crafting supply packages.

Development Execution

Strong Local “Ground Game”
As rural communities experience increasing infrastructure development, local opposition risk is increasing. This risk needs to be taken seriously and managed proactively to ensure project success. El Cap’s development team is the gold standard for local community engagement and trust building, which starts with senior team member relationship building with key local stakeholders. El Cap does not outsource this critical aspect of development.
