In this episode, we sit down with Christine Larson, Head of Strategy & Operations at Modern Energy and interim COO at Industrial Sun, to explore how early-stage developers can thrive in a landscape defined by high complexity, capital intensity, and shifting market signals.
Christine shares how Modern’s model goes beyond funding—providing hands-on operational support like IT and accounting—so founders can focus on what really matters: building and scaling transformative energy projects.
We dive into:
- Why Modern invests in niche, high-complexity infrastructure like green hydrogen and EV fleet charging
- How capital bottlenecks and tariff uncertainty are shaping developer risk
- Why utility coordination and contract innovation are now mission-critical
- How partnerships, not just tech, will drive the future of energy
Christine and James explore how strategic collaboration—between developers, capital partners, and load customers—is key to unlocking the next generation of clean energy infrastructure.
Paces helps developers find and evaluate the sites most suitable for renewable development. Interested in a call with James, CEO @ Paces?
