Approach
The grid can't keep up.
We don't wait.
The Bypass
The grid says 3-5 years. We build behind-the-meter power in ERCOT that eliminates the queue. Simple cycle. 18 months to power. No interconnection application. No utility timeline.
Turbine procurement is the second bottleneck — lead times exceed 2-3 years and most developers can't solve it. Our execution partner has procurement access across every major platform, built over 77 years of continuous delivery. We secure equipment now.
How We Deliver
01
Origination
Power needs assessment, site screening, load modeling, Go/No-Go decision.
02
Engineering
FEL 1-5, interconnection strategy, permitting, Basis of Design.
03
Capital
Financial structuring, PPA/tolling design, project finance packaging.
04
Execution
Equipment procurement, EPC oversight, commissioning to COD, O&M transition.
What We Build
Four plant configurations. Each sized and optimized for the load profile, site constraints, and capital structure of the project.
40–1,250 MW

Every data center project stuck on power is a deal that can't close, can't get funded, and can't break ground.
We solve that.

About
The unseen piece that makes the deal move.
"Thole" is Old English — to endure without complaint. A thole pin is the fitting that holds the oar in place. Without it, the boat doesn't move. Both meanings define how we operate.
Speed
3-5 years in queue, or 18 months with BTM generation. We can start tomorrow.
Procurement
Turbine lead times exceed 2-3 years. We secure equipment now. This window won't stay open.
Bankability
37,000+ MW executed. Lenders underwrite track records, not promises.
Single Point
One team. Full lifecycle. No finger-pointing between developer and EPC.
ERCOT Depth
Deep expertise in Texas's deregulated market. Behind-the-meter and front-of-meter.
