Insights

Energy development strategist

Partnership strengthens project delivery for battery storage and generation across major U.S. grids.

Granite Source Power's established pipeline and ~2,000 MW of closed project sales combined with Great Bay Renewables' interconnection and finance capabilities create a clearer path from siting to commercialization. This links development muscle with capital and interconnection expertise, which often shortens timelines and reduces gate‑risk for grid‑scale projects.

Key dependencies include timely interconnection approvals, offtake or utility arrangements, and the ability to convert the pipeline into shovel‑ready assets; any delays there will blunt the partnership's operational impact. Monitor progress on specific interconnection milestones and announced project commercial ready dates over the next 12–24 months starting from Nov. 19, 2025.

Project finance specialist

Creative financing plus development scale improves prospects for moving projects to construction.

Pairing Great Bay's financing solutions with Granite Source Power's siting and development reduces funding friction that commonly stalls storage and generation projects. The arrangement targets projects across ERCOT, PJM, NYISO, ISONE and SPP, broadening where finance can be deployed and where revenue streams may be secured.

Risks center on contract execution: securing creditworthy counterparties and successfully negotiating interconnection terms remain necessary to realize value. Watch for announcements of funded projects, signed offtake/PPAs, or interconnection agreements over the next 12–24 months from Nov. 19, 2025 as concrete evidence the partnership is converting pipeline into built capacity.
