HOW WE WORK

Each assignment is a service contract with a scope and deliverables defined in writing, followed by GridReadiness throughout. You keep a single point of contact, including if the assignment changes or another expert needs to step in.

Independence and staffingIf one of our experts is on assignment with a developer or an EPC contractor, GridReadiness does not carry out the due diligence of that same project for a lender, nor support the host community on it.
