Methodology and governance of PALLAS site development

How we screen, test and take a site towards a project. Every stage has a decision gate and the evidence needed before moving on.

Core principles

Eight stages of site development

A site only moves to the next stage once the decision gate of the previous stage is met.

01
Energy screening
Assesses the energy source, scale, cost pathway, reliability and development potential.
02
Infrastructure screening
Assesses grid and transmission, fiber, water, logistics and supporting utilities.
03
Site screening
Assesses the core land, expansion path, hazards, zoning, title status and access.
04
Pre-feasibility
Prepares early engineering, power economics, site economics and a master plan.
05
Market validation
Validates prospective user needs, market fit, developer feedback and partner interest.
06
Site control
Sets up options, exclusivity, leases, conditional acquisition or another control structure.
07
Strategic partnership
Brings together PALLAS, energy partners, developers, investors and government coordination.
08
Project development
Takes the site to further studies, permits, commercial structuring, FEED and project capital.

What we set out for partners, developers and investors when a site is discussed.

Decision gate criteria
The conditions a site must meet before it moves to the next stage.
Evidence requirements
The studies, data and documents each stage needs.
Confidentiality and NDA rules
Site details are only shared after verification and an NDA.
Conflict of interest statement
The interests of the parties involved are disclosed before a decision.
Adviser independence
The role and independence of technical and legal advisers is stated clearly.
Source and date control
Every market, capacity or investment figure carries its source and the date it was updated.
Version control and audit trail
Documents are versioned and important changes are recorded.
