Land and Power
Energy Project Enablement
Land and Power prepares parcels of land for energy project development. We work with landowners, navigate permitting and approvals, and coordinate early with utilities on power and servicing, so projects can move forward with confidence.
What we do
Before construction begins, a project needs land secured, permits advanced, and power arranged. Land and Power carries out that early work. It is also the groundwork for national priorities like sovereign AI: the infrastructure Canadian companies need to compete globally, built here at home.
Sites, Powered and Permitted
We screen land for energy projects, including generation, storage, and large-load developments, and work directly with landowners to bring the strongest sites to market. Landowner interests come first: a fair, transparent process that protects their interests and works to realize the full value of their land.
We guide projects through municipal, provincial, and federal permitting and regulatory approvals, from early screening and pre-consultation through to final approval, including behind-the-meter generation projects.
Power is the defining constraint on modern energy projects. We engage early with utilities and system operators on servicing, grid connection, and infrastructure coordination.
For developers and investors evaluating energy project opportunities, we provide an independent read on permitting risk, power availability, and development timelines. This is the same screening discipline we apply to our own pipeline, offered as a service.
Method
Every site we consider is screened before any decision is made, using our own tools and methods, applied consistently so results can be compared and decisions can be explained. Most sites do not make it through. The ones that do are well suited to development, and a good fit for the communities they would join.
The new rules
Ontario's Data Centre Playbook sets clear expectations for large new loads: municipal support, full cost recovery for connection infrastructure, and a credible community-benefit case. The federal Responsible Data Centre Development Principles add environmental and community expectations of their own. Some municipalities have paused new applications while they develop local rules. In practice, projects planned within these rules from the outset proceed, while projects that encounter them late tend to stall.
Approach
Screen sites for size, location, servicing, permitting risk, and development potential, and build genuine partnerships with the landowners behind them.
Advance permitting, regulatory approvals, and utility engagement early, when issues are easiest to resolve.
Hand over a site that is ready to build on, with the land, approvals, and power picture a developer needs to move forward with certainty. Our role ends at that point.
Why now
Electricity demand is growing again after decades of flat load. Every new large load competes for the same grid capacity, and arranging a connection takes time.
The pursuit of superintelligence is driving a new class of large, always-on electricity loads. These projects need sites with power certainty on timelines the grid was not originally planned for.
Batteries and behind-the-meter generation are becoming part of how large loads get connected, not just how the grid stays balanced. Projects that plan for them early keep more options open.
Who we work with
Energy projects bring together parties who rarely speak the same language. We sit in the middle and keep everyone moving in the same direction, coordinating early and openly with utilities, agencies, and local communities.
You may be sitting on land with real development potential. We help you understand what your land could support and what that means for its value, then structure a fair path to market that protects your interests.
You need sites you can evaluate and act on with confidence. We provide screened sites with the permitting groundwork completed, and independent diligence on the sites already in your pipeline.
Large-load projects are arriving in communities that have not yet adopted local rules for them. We help councils and staff develop those rules in advance, so applications can be assessed against a clear local framework.
Contact
If you own land with potential, are developing an energy project, advise a municipality, or want to talk about what is possible, we would like to hear from you.
