One scoring engine and a common language that turn speculative sites and stalled interconnections into fundable, executable opportunities — aligning developers, utilities, landowners, and capital around what's actually real.
Different seat at the table, different starting point. Here's where each path begins.
Prove your site is real — and move first.
Underwrite power risk with a defensible score.
Clear the tire-kickers. Focus on real projects.
Market grid-ready sites with confidence.
Turn your land into a powered opportunity.
GRIP is the score everything runs on. The core family takes you from Score → Secure → Connect; GEAR and GRADE are standalone programs built alongside it.
The score everything runs on.
GRIP scores a site or project across 12 diligence categories — power, land, water, fiber, permitting, deliverability, and more — and returns one confidence-discounted grade. It's how a developer proves a site is real, how a fund underwrites risk, and how every stakeholder finally speaks the same language.
From raw parcel to fundable, grid-ready site.
GROUND is powered land development advisory — site selection, qualification, and origination built around what actually makes a project viable: power, infrastructure, and readiness. For landowners and developers turning dirt into a deliverable opportunity.
A clear path through the utility maze.
Queues, studies, upgrades, tariffs — GUIDE turns a slow, opaque utility process into a defined timeline. You get interconnection strategy and utility engagement from someone who has sat on the utility side of the table and knows how those decisions actually get made.
Behind-the-meter and bring-your-own-generation deals, aligned.
On-site and co-located generation deals fall apart in translation — utilities, generation and equipment providers, and large loads each speak a different language. GEAR is the trusted advisor that reconciles their contracts, frameworks, and expectations so deals actually close.
A readiness program for utilities — now forming launch partners.
Interconnection queues are drowning in speculative requests. GRADE applies the GRIP methodology as an intake screen built for a utility's territory — clearing tire-kickers, focusing staff on fundable projects, and rewarding prepared developers with faster, fairer review. Built on GRIP.
One teal progression across GRIP, GROUND, and GUIDE — certainty, not potential. Advisory only, no EPC, no construction.
Establish the ground truth — power, land, and queue position scored into a single underwritable read.
Originate, underwrite, and develop the scored site toward a signed, defensible position.
Drive utility interconnection and development through to an energized outcome.

Most engagements start with a GRIP℠ score. Tell us about the load and the site, and we'll point you to the right path.
Start a ConversationMost professionals specialize in one area — utility operations, site selection, real estate, interconnection engineering, or economic development. GridMatch operates across all five. That means we understand how utilities make decisions, what data center developers require, what economic developers need to market sites, what investors need to underwrite, and what infrastructure constraints actually determine whether a project gets built. The result: fewer surprises, lower development risk, and a common language across every stakeholder.
The future of development belongs to projects that can demonstrate certainty — not just potential.
GridMatch is led by Ryan Stillwell, a power origination and infrastructure development expert specializing in utility engagement, interconnection strategy, and powered land development for data centers and other large-load customers.
The work has always been the same: bridging the gap between utilities, developers, landowners, economic developers, and capital providers — transforming speculative sites into executable infrastructure opportunities. We bring certainty to site development.
