How it works

What happens after you contact us

Illinois is in an unusual position: real transmission, real demand, and a state incentive that has just been switched off for new entrants. That combination makes site quality matter more than it did a year ago. Here is how we work out whether a particular place clears that higher bar.

  1. You tell us about the land

    Tell us the county, roughly the acreage, and whether anyone has already approached you about it. Given the timing, when an approach happened is nearly as informative as what it said.

  2. We check it against public records

    We check who serves your power, which grid region you sit in, and what transmission runs near you. Northern and southern Illinois answer to different grid operators, so this is not a formality here.

  3. We call you if it looks workable

    You get the reasoning rather than a verdict. Where the answer is no, we name the specific thing that rules it out, so it is worth something to you next time somebody writes.

  4. We make an offer, or we tell you why not

    Paperwork comes last and your attorney sees it before you act on it. Until that point the only thing we have asked you for is a description of your ground.

At no stage does any of that involve you paying for something or agreeing to stop talking to other parties. Anybody wanting either from an Illinois landowner before showing their own work should be treated accordingly.
