The grid has to grow. We help you build it.
AI and electrification are driving the fastest load growth in a generation. Develp helps utilities, power developers and data center builders deliver the capital programs behind it, with program controls, systems that coordinate the work, and AI agents that carry it.
- GenerationNew capacity, plant capital, nuclear
- TransmissionLines, substations, interconnection
- DistributionGrid hardening, undergrounding, wildfire mitigation
- GasPipeline replacement and compliance
- Large loadsData centers, electrification, customer programs
Who we work with
Anyone delivering the capital work that adds generation, moves power, or brings large loads online.
Utilities
Investor-owned utilities, public power and cooperatives scaling capital programs: grid hardening, wildfire mitigation, generation and interconnection.
How we work with utilitiesPower developers and IPPs
Developers and private-equity owners bringing new generation online, with program controls and interconnection tracking in place from day one.

What we do
Three ways we help program leaders get more work through the door, on schedule and on the record.
Program controls
Get control of a program that has outgrown its tools.
We standardize how projects are scheduled and tracked so hundreds of jobs roll up into one program view, and you can see what is late, what is about to be, and why.
- Schedule standards: common templates, milestones and codes across contractors and project managers
- Program-level visibility into delays, risks and what is driving them
- Capital plan versus execution, tracked through to regulatory commitments
Work coordination systems
Get the groups that don’t report to you moving on your projects.
Your projects depend on teams that run on their own priorities: permitting, environmental, vegetation, engineering, outages, customers. We build the systems that put holds, handoffs and readiness in one place.
- Holds and constraints tracking across every group a project depends on
- Ready-to-construct status that the field and the PMO both trust
- Workflows and notifications that hand work between groups automatically
AI for delivery
AI agents that carry real program work, not another pilot.
Most of what slows a capital program is coordination: reading schedule updates, chasing holds, tracking permits and materials, reviewing documents, building the report. We build AI agents that do that work alongside your team, inside your tenant, with a person approving anything that leaves it.
- Agents that read every schedule update, explain what moved, and draft the weekly narrative
- Agents that chase holds, permits and long-lead materials before they reach the critical path
- Document, submittal and procedure review against your standards
AI agents built for capital programs
A capital program runs on thousands of follow-ups, reviews, reports and handoffs between teams. AI agents can carry most of that coordination load, so programs deliver faster, hold their schedules, and cost less to run.
Our agent portfolio
Schedule analyst
Reads every schedule update across contractors, explains what moved and why, flags logic problems like open ends and hard constraints, and drafts the weekly narrative.
Constraint chaser
Tracks holds across permitting, land, environmental, vegetation and outages, follows up with the group that owns each one, and escalates before a hold reaches the critical path.
Interconnection and permit tracker
Watches queue positions, study milestones, agency deadlines and correspondence, and warns you when a date is at risk.
Long-lead materials
Matches transformer, breaker and switchgear delivery commitments against need dates across the portfolio, and surfaces the gaps months ahead.
Document reviewer
Triages submittals and RFIs, checks drawings and specifications against your standards, and compares procedure revisions line by line.
Regulatory reporter
Assembles what was committed against what was built for rate case updates and wildfire mitigation reporting, with every figure traced to its source.
Every agent runs inside your tenant and works from your systems of record. Your data stays in your environment.
Most partners know the tools. We know the tools and the work.
Rate cases, interconnection queues, permits, outages, crews and contractors. We've spent two decades inside the programs that build the grid, so what we build fits the way the work actually gets done.
- Two decades inside the work
- We've run schedules, stood up PMOs and built the systems behind generation, transmission, distribution, gas and nuclear programs. We start from how your work actually moves.
- No software to sell
- We're fluent in Unifier, P6, Power Platform and Microsoft 365, and tied to none of them. Our recommendations answer to your program, not a reseller agreement.
- Principal-led, bench-scaled
- A principal leads every engagement, with a team of specialists sized to the work.
- We work with your IT, not around it
- We get solutions through architecture and security review, logged in IT’s configuration management database, and set up with a support model your IT organization can own.
