We’ve worked across all major regulatory regions: PJM, MISO, CAISO, NYISO, SPP, EIM, WECC, and BPA. Whether you’re preparing interconnection filings or securing PPAs, we move with experience and precision. Our technical proficiencies include: • GIS platforms and mapping systems (IRIS, ERIS, and more) • Public recorder platforms like Laredo and Apex • Real-time adaptability across multiple tech ecosystems • Continuous knowledge tracking of policy and platform evolutions

negotiations
at GD, negotiation isn’t just about favorable terms—it's
about foresight,
pressure management
and disciplined execution.
securing outcomes to align
with client goals while navigating complex, multilateral negotiations under tight time constraints is what we do best
—our tactics are below.
• Tactical Contract Execution: Simultaneously negotiated and administered multiple high-value contracts, aligning client priorities with project realities. • Risk Anticipation & Conflict Diffusion: Proactively identified congestion points—whether logistical, legal, or relational—and addressed them before escalation, keeping projects on schedule and out of litigation. • Asset Operations Oversight: Led daily operations across diverse land and estate portfolios, handling acquisition, leasing, and disposition strategies with precision. • Field-Level Intelligence: Conducted in-person site assessments to validate valuations and provide actionable recommendations supported by market analysis. • System-Wide Contract Refinement: Instituted company-wide contract revisions that eliminated reporting redundancies, streamlined oversight, and preserved internal accountability without sacrificing visibility.
