Brendan Dillon, Director, Common Grid Works, Independent Practice

Strategy and execution for energy infrastructure that is shaped to fit into communities.

I help founders, investors, communities, and project development teams assess and enter new markets, engage community stakeholders, and design and execute repeatable development processes to allow energy infrastructure to scale with the communities it supports.

— Services

Three disciplines, one continuous engagement.

Engagements are scoped against the decisions you actually need to make next mapped to a view of what success ultimately looks like to all stakeholders involved.

Market and Business Planning

Market entry strategy, business model design, and capital structure planning for energy projects entering new communities and markets.

02

Community Engagement

Stakeholder strategy and engagement that builds local trust and unlocks approvals for developments that seek to become a part of the community.

03

Project Development Management

End-to-end development management, from feasibility and approvals through capital raise and delivery, with repeatable processes built for scale.

The practice

— The Practice

A senior pair of hands for the early, formative stages.

I work as Director on engagements where strategy, finance, and stakeholder work need to move together. Most clients come in at the moment a concept needs to become a fundable, deliverable plan.

My expertise spans new market development, project finance, project development management, and the design of the development process itself which is the operating rhythm that takes a concept from feasibility through capital deployment and into delivery and operations.

Capabilities

  • New market development
  • Project development management
  • Development process design
  • Capital strategy & feasibility
