Longer duration. More system value.
Projects are designed for the emerging need beyond conventional four-hour storage, including renewable shifting, peak support and grid resilience.
Fly Over Energy originates and advances utility-scale long-duration storage projects in CAISO, with a platform designed for selective expansion across the broader WECC and ERCOT markets.
01 / Investment thesis
The transition does not simply need more megawatts. It needs storage positioned where the grid can use it—when the grid needs it most.
FOE is building a repeatable development platform around that constraint. We focus on long-duration projects with a credible interconnection path, strong siting fundamentals and multiple routes to value creation.
Projects are designed for the emerging need beyond conventional four-hour storage, including renewable shifting, peak support and grid resilience.
Origination begins with grid need, substation context and an actionable interconnection route—not an indiscriminate land pipeline.
Development spend advances through defined gates so capital is concentrated on the projects with the strongest risk-adjusted path.
02 / Development platform
FOE combines energy-market judgment with a systematic development process built to improve project quality at each capital decision.
Start with grid need, market signal and site potential.
Apply QC16 across sixteen development and investment factors.
Advance interconnection, land, permitting and commercial workstreams.
Create optionality for partnership, project sale or retained ownership.
FOE internal screening framework
FOE’s internal 16-factor screen evaluates grid, site, market and execution risk before significant development capital is committed.
03 / Portfolio strategy
FOE is advancing a 655 MW / 5,908 MWh long-duration storage platform assembled around a common development thesis, with disciplined project selection and capital visibility.
Discuss the platformUtility territory, interconnection route, site type and commercial timing are balanced at the portfolio level.
Portfolios advance on a deliberate cadence, allowing early evidence to strengthen each successive investment decision.
The structure supports project sales, strategic partnerships and selective ownership without forcing one exit path.
04 / Development discipline
FOE advances projects through defined, evidence-based gates, preserving capital for opportunities with the strongest risk-adjusted path.
Institutional inquiriesAdvance the next proof point, then reassess.
Track milestones and exposure by asset.
Apply evidence across a repeatable platform.
Preserve partnership and ownership optionality.
