1836 Development Group is an energy infrastructure developer — utility-scale solar, storage, and power generation, delivered land-through-turnkey. On remote projects, we also develop the supporting workforce housing infrastructure that keeps our energy builds on schedule.
Most infrastructure projects fail in the seams — between the developer, the engineer, the EPC, and the GC. 1836 owns the project across every one of those phases. We source the land, run every entitlement and permit, engineer the site, and then manage the GC and EPC through construction, commissioning, and turnkey handoff to the owner.
One accountable developer from raw parcel to commercial operation. When a project is remote enough to require it, we develop and manage the supporting workforce housing infrastructure on the same contract — so crew accommodations never become the reason a schedule slips.
Every function required to move a project from a raw parcel to a fully commissioned asset — under one roof.
Origination, landowner outreach, options and leases, title, ALTA survey, and grid-proximity screening. We identify and secure the right parcels — structured to the client's preferred ownership model.
Zoning, conditional use, county and state approvals, environmental screenings and studies, cultural and biological surveys, and full permitting through construction release.
Civil, structural, MEP, and interconnection engineering. Preliminary through issued-for-construction, coordinated with utilities, AHJs, and equipment suppliers.
Utility coordination, interconnection queue positioning, transmission and substation studies, and grid-proximity screening to de-risk the project's most critical development milestone.
In-house electrical execution from inverter terminations through grid interconnection — utility-scale solar collection systems, MV/HV substations, switchgear, transformers, protective relaying, and underground duct banks up to 345kV.
Phase I ESAs, wetlands and species surveys, cultural resources, glare and shading studies, and stakeholder engagement — all coordinated to keep the project schedule intact.
Owner's-representative construction management from EPC and GC selection through mobilization, execution, commissioning, and turnkey acceptance. Schedule, cost, safety, and quality — owned.
When an energy project sits on a remote site, 1836 develops and manages the on-site workforce housing infrastructure as part of the same contract — selecting the operator and governing catering, housekeeping, maintenance, security, and logistics so crew accommodations never delay the build.
We develop utility-scale solar farms, battery energy storage systems, and behind-the-meter power generation from raw land to turnkey. Land origination, interconnection strategy, preliminary and detailed design, environmental studies, and full permitting are handled in-house — alongside direct electrical execution from inverter terminations through grid interconnection, medium- and high-voltage distribution to 345kV, and substation construction. 1836 then manages the GC and EPC through construction, commissioning, and handoff to the owner.
Utility-scale energy projects don't fail on panels or breakers — they fail when the crews building them can't be housed. On remote sites, 1836 develops and manages the supporting workforce housing infrastructure as part of the same contract as the energy asset: land, entitlements, engineering, permitting, and construction, then operator selection and lifecycle management. One team, one schedule, one accountable developer. Scalable from 50 to 5,000+ beds and rated to -60°F.
Before consolidating into 1836's energy infrastructure platform, the same principals delivered workforce housing infrastructure at hyperscale for the largest data-center builds in Texas — the same discipline of land-through-turnkey execution, permitting, GC and vendor management, and on-schedule handoff that our utility-scale solar and storage clients require.
Hyperscale data-center campuses (Texas):
Haskell (4,000 beds)·Vernon (4,000)·Hereford (4,000)·Pampa (2,500).
Mining, remote & emergency-response:
Signor Lodging (4,000, multi-state)·Holly Ridge (1,000, LA)·Hurricane Maria (650, PR)·North Slope (350, AK)·Kensington Mine (330, AK).
Full track record reflects the experience of the 1836 principals.
1836 develops the energy project and manages the GC and EPC through construction. On remote sites, we also develop and manage the supporting workforce housing infrastructure on the same contract.
Land sourcing, entitlements, permitting, interconnection, environmental, and engineering. We advance every project from raw parcel to construction-ready under a single accountable team.
Owner's-representative management of the GC and EPC through mobilization, execution, commissioning, and turnkey acceptance — protecting the schedule, budget, and design we developed.
For workforce housing, 1836 selects, contracts, and manages the on-site operator for the life of the project. The client has one point of contact — 1836 — for everything that happens on site.
A proven, phased approach that delivers infrastructure on time, on budget, and ready to operate.
Land sourcing, landowner engagement, site control, and grid or workforce feasibility.
Zoning, environmental studies, permitting, interconnection queue positioning, and preliminary design.
Detailed engineering, procurement strategy, and IFC drawings coordinated with utility and AHJ.
1836 manages the GC and EPC through mobilization, execution, and commissioning — owning schedule, cost, safety, and quality on behalf of the owner.
Fully commissioned asset turned over to the owner — or, for workforce housing, 1836 places and manages the operator for the life of the project.
1836's leadership brings decades of hands-on infrastructure delivery across energy, mining, federal, and remote industrial projects in North America.
Solar, battery storage, backup generation, substation, and interconnection scopes for utility-scale energy projects.
Arctic oilfields, offshore islands, and remote extraction sites — infrastructure and workforce housing for major producers.
Rapid-deployment infrastructure and workforce housing supporting federal agencies responding to natural disasters.
Large-scale infrastructure, timber, and industrial projects with full logistics, security, and workforce services.
Whether it's a utility-scale solar farm, a backup power system, or a remote workforce camp — 1836 takes it from raw land to turnkey. Tell us about your project.
