In this on-demand conversation, Tai Wallace, Founder of Development Advisory at Emerald Infrastructure, unpacks the shifting commercial nexus between load and generation and why early development decisions increasingly determine whether a project becomes bankable or stranded.

As large loads move from downstream customers to site-defining stakeholders, power market dynamics are changing fast. This discussion offers a practical, forward-looking look at how developers can adapt early, secure scarce opportunities, and avoid costly missteps in today’s load-driven market.

In this replay, you’ll learn how to:

• Identify and screen greenfield markets where large loads and generation can realistically co-locate under current transmission constraints
• Apply a disciplined site-screening process that evaluates land, environmental, and transmission realities from day one
• Anticipate and mitigate community, political, and reputational risks before zoning and permitting begin
• Leverage development partners strategically to reduce greenfield risk and protect long-term project value

Whether you are originating or acquiring projects, this session provides a clear framework for developing greenfield assets that work in today’s evolving power market.
