How Demeter Land Development de-risks origination and triples success with Paces
When Scott Aaronson founded Demeter Land Development, he set out to help developers secure the most strategic, de-risked land positions. But as Demeter expanded into new states and markets, the team faced the high stakes of early-stage origination—where even small mistakes could multiply into costly setbacks. To scale confidently and avoid wasted time on non-viable sites, Demeter needed reliable, high-quality data—and that’s where Paces came in.

How a lean solar development team scales and achieves big results with Paces
When Corey founded Radiant Power in early 2024, he was excited to bring his vision of community-focused solar development to life. But working with a lean team of two, he quickly realized the challenges of navigating the overwhelming world of site prospecting. Without the resources of a large team, Radiant Power needed a way to work smarter, not harder—and that’s where Paces came in.

Beyond the headlines: What DOE's FERC directive really means for your project
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has invoked a rarely used provision of the DOE Act to request that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) take jurisdiction over transmission-level large load interconnections (greater than 20 MW). This proposal, currently in the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking stage, aims to standardize processes and set national guardrails for how utilities manage these requests. If adopted, utilities could be required to complete studies for curtailable loads within 60 days, creating faster, more predictable timelines for data center and industrial developers. However, states and utilities are likely to challenge the rule, raising questions about jurisdictional authority and cost allocation that could delay implementation until 2026 or later.

The One-Person, Billion-Dollar Power Development Company
Our CEO, James McWalter, argues we may be closer than many think. Advances in AI are transforming power development and collapsing processes that once took months into minutes. That speed unlocks profound change: it lowers the barrier to entry for new developers, accelerates the pace of power buildout, and helps the U.S. meet surging AI-driven energy demand and national targets.

Hansford County, Texas Power Flow Study: How ERCOT can enable 1,345 MW of new load by 2030
Paces analyzed ERCOT grid capacity in Hansford County, Texas, revealing significant opportunities for large-scale data center development. Using 2028 and 2030 planning base cases, the study shows the region can support 853 MW of load by 2028 with zero system upgrades and scale to 1,345 MW by 2030 with only minor voltage enhancements. This analysis provides data center developers and energy infrastructure teams with a clear roadmap for securing gigawatt-scale grid capacity near Project Matador. Learn how staged interconnection and strategic POI selection can accelerate time-to-power for hyperscale facilities in Texas.
