Most independent developers permit one or two projects in a career. We've permitted dozens, in front of the same agencies, over forty years — long enough that the agency staff who reviewed our first AFC are now consulting for the agencies reviewing our latest.

That continuity is a real asset. We know which questions get asked, which mitigations clear which districts, and which sequencing decisions kill a project before it starts.

Agencies we work in front of.

  • California Energy Commission — AFC and SPPE processes
  • California Public Utilities Commission
  • California Independent System Operator
  • South Coast Air Quality Management District
  • San Diego Air Pollution Control District
  • San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
  • Bay Area Air Quality Management District
  • Local planning and zoning authorities, statewide

The Wellhead track record.

Every project we've taken to AFC filing has reached commercial operation. Every one. We treat that record as the asset it is, which means we walk away from sites that won't permit cleanly rather than push them through.
