Development

The Company has a dedicated development team of 40 employees with strong experience and specialization in different aspects of project development. 

The group coordinates the development of wind and solar power generation opportunities and manages site prospecting, land procurement, wind and solar resource assessment, wind and solar project design, permitting process, managing environmental studies, handling community relations, transmission and interconnection work, power marketing and contracting. 

RES Americas’ initial step is to identify areas with high wind and strong solar resources and secure the key development sites.  It then applies its construction expertise to distinguish between those sites that can be cost-effectively built and those which can not.  This skill set is particularly critical in regions with difficult topography, such as the western U.S.

In addition to its Denver headquarters, the Company has regional offices that work in these strategic markets. The Company’s regional divisions and offices are as follows:

  The South Central office based in Austin, Texas, manages development across the Southwest and Central U.S. Key states in this region include Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma.

The Northwest region is managed from RES Americas’ Portland, Oregon office. The development pipeline in this region includes significant projects in Washington and Idaho, among other states.

The North Central office based in Minneapolis, Minnesota covers the northern central region including, but not limited to, Michigan, North Dakota, and Nebraska. In addition, the Company has a developer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who works on development opportunities in the Northeast U.S. and reports to the North Central office.

Opportunities in Southern California are pursued out of the Denver office with a JV partner based in Redlands, California.

The Canadian office is based in Montreal in the province of Quebec.
