GeoPrime Energy · Deep DiveProject Pipeline Detail
A 600+ MW development pipeline of behind-the-meter power campuses for AI and critical industrial loads, anchored by strategic clusters in Michigan and North Carolina.
Pipeline Summary
Development Portfolio
| Project / Location | Scale | Stage | Status Detail | Next Milestone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| River Rouge, Michigan | 200+ MW | Site Selection | 218-acre industrial site identified; site screening and control process underway; EGLE air permitting initiated; FERC interconnection filing in progress; active PPA negotiations with a hyperscale AI compute tenant. | Secure site control · advance offtake |
| North Carolina Corridor | 300+ MW | Diligence | Large-scale corridor opportunity in active diligence; parallel development track leveraging River Rouge engineering and EPC frameworks. | Secure strategic site control |
| Ann Arbor Pilot, Michigan | 1-5 MW | Engineering | First-to-close proof-of-concept for the GPE execution model; LOI executed on site; PPA under negotiation with a local anchor tenant; targeted 12-18 months to COD. | HG-250 prototype positioning |
| Industrial Cluster, Midwest | 100+ MW | Early Stage | Early-stage industrial cluster opportunity; near-term 40 MW and larger-scale phases under evaluation. | Complete feasibility study |
Development Methodology
Planning & Feasibility
Comprehensive planning and feasibility studies, energy audits, compliance, EPC, safety, and design, to determine the optimal technical, financial, and environmental configuration per site.
Engineering & Permitting
Pre-NTP detailed engineering design, environmental assessments, and securing of all necessary permits and approvals.
Procurement & Construction
Equipment supplier selection, construction contract awards, and construction oversight with Tier-1 EPC partners.
Hybrid & Smart Controls
All systems integrated with intelligent, AI-driven plant controls and advanced SCADA, managing generation, storage, and loads in real time to optimize uptime, cost, and carbon impact.
Commissioning
System testing, commissioning, and commencement of commercial operations under long-term offtake structures.
Speed advantage
By avoiding the utility interconnection queue, GPE targets campus delivery in 18-24 months, versus 5-7 years for comparable grid-scale projects.
Offtake & Commercial Status
- Active discussions, not signed: GPE is in active PPA discussions and negotiations with hyperscale data center and industrial customers. No offtake agreements have been executed to date.
- Target structure: long-term (15-20 year) PPAs structured as tolling agreements, fixed capacity payment plus variable energy charge with 100% fuel-cost pass-through.
- Sequencing: the Ann Arbor pilot is positioned as the first-to-close asset and immediate proof-of-concept, de-risking the larger River Rouge and North Carolina campuses.
