Our Projects

RetCo “develops” (e.g. designs, permits, obtains regulatory approvals and raises finance for) new electric transmission lines that it then constructs and operates. RetCo selects its new projects on a criterion of being able to deliver new forms of renewable energy to major load centers. The focus is primarily on facilitating new wind and solar generation facilities, but RetCo will also examine opportunities in geothermal, biomass and small hydro.
