From Energy Constraint
to Energy Advantage
Energy needs and sites evolve. Real estate use, built infrastructure, and grid connections that made sense years ago may no longer match the needs of a site or facility. That’s where Third Pillar comes in. We develop, finance, build, and operate solar, storage, and electrical infrastructure — standalone or integrated — to improve capacity, flexibility, cost, and long-term value for site owners.
01.
These come up in nearly every conversation we have. They rarely arrive as an energy problem — they show up as a budget that keeps moving, a project that can’t start, or an asset that costs more than it returns. Most sites recognize themselves in more than one.
Underused land, water or brownfield real estate.
High or volatile electricity costs, and rate structures that no longer fit.
Grid constraints limiting growth, and aging equipment facing a compliance date.
An inherited energy system can be redesigned. A surface with one job can serve another. An underused site can become a productive asset.
02.
Manufacturers, processors, logistics operators, and other large energy users looking to reduce costs, improve reliability, or unlock capacity for growth.
Energy-intensive operations with large loads, substantial infrastructure needs, and land or water assets that can support new energy projects.
Water districts, wastewater treatment plants, municipalities, and other public agencies managing energy-intensive infrastructure and underutilized land or water assets.
Utilities, cooperatives, and other energy buyers seeking new generation, storage, or infrastructure to meet grid and customer needs.
Owners of brownfields, reservoirs, quarries, closed industrial sites, and other underutilized properties that can be turned into productive energy assets.
03.
We manage the project from development through operations - including engineering, construction, utility coordination, financing, and long-term performance. One team, one point of accountability.
We invest for long-term ownership, staying responsible for the assets we develop and how they perform over time.
The Third Pillar Lifecycle
We take a full-lifecycle approach — developing, owning, operating, and maintaining our projects for the long term, then responsibly decommissioning them and restoring the site at the end of their useful life.
The Third Pillar Ecosystem
The right solution depends on the site, the grid, and the objective. We evaluate the opportunity, then develop, finance, build, and operate the project including solar, storage and infrastructure as stand-alone or integrated solutions.
Solar→
Battery Storage→
Infrastructure→
We start with what you need and help you develop the solution that fits.
Whether the objective is lower cost, more capacity, improved reliability, or better use of an asset, we evaluate the full opportunity and identify the combination of solar, storage, and infrastructure that creates the most value.
