Permit Planning and Coordination

We begin each project with a clear permitting roadmap, identifying all required local, provincial, and federal approvals. This includes siting permits, environmental clearances, facility approvals, interconnection permissions, pipeline licenses, and utility crossing agreements. Each requirement is mapped against the project schedule to avoid downstream delays.

Application Preparation and Technical Support

We develop complete and technically accurate application packages that meet the standards of agencies such as the Alberta Utilities Commission, Alberta Environment and Protected Areas, the Canada Energy Regulator as well as local municipal authorities. Our team assembles all supporting documents including engineering drawings, environmental studies, project descriptions, public consultation records and mitigation plans, among other documents.

Regulatory Engagement and Submission Management

We coordinate directly with regulators to manage submissions, respond to information requests and track application progress. This includes managing technical reviews, public notice requirements and procedural timelines. We advocate for the project while maintaining transparency and compliance throughout.

Energy Generation and Pipeline Approvals

For thermal and renewable generation projects, we prepare and submit applications under the relevant acts & regulatory pathways. For natural gas pipeline infrastructure, we manage applications under provincial and federal pipeline regulations, including right-of-way planning and crossing approvals.

Data Centre Specific Considerations

We align permitting efforts with the unique infrastructure requirements of digital facilities. This includes accounting for combined heat and power configurations, backup generation integration, high-voltage interconnections, and proximity to urban zones. Our submissions address noise, emissions, land use and redundancy systems. Our approach is tailored to hyperscale and colocation environments. Inference is just around the corner, where we are ready to support.

Post-Approval Compliance and Conditions Management

After permits are granted, we help manage conditions of approval. Many post approval tasks include ensuring construction, commissioning and operations stay within the regulatory framework. Considerations for monitoring, reporting and coordination with field teams to meet compliance obligations becomes paramount.

Permits that Enable Progress

We see permitting not as a formality but as a forward-looking process that creates space for execution. Our approach turns regulatory obligations into enablers of construction, investment, and operation. Our approach is to deliver certainty to both developers and digital infrastructure partners.
