Frequently asked questions
How does Intersect Power's development model differ from a traditional renewable energy developer?
Intersect does not rely on the existing transmission grid to connect generation to load. It co-locates large-scale solar, battery storage, and firming power directly alongside industrial demand — predominantly data centers — on single sites. This bypasses the multi-year interconnection queue, compressing project timelines from a decade or more to a few years. The model treats the combined energy-and-load campus as a standalone, vertically integrated infrastructure asset.
What is the nature of Google's relationship with Intersect Power?
Google entered a strategic partnership with Intersect in 2024 to blend its hyperscale computing expertise with Intersect's power development capabilities. In March 2026, Google acquired the company outright, absorbing its pipeline and team while retaining the Intersect brand and Sheldon Kimber as CEO. The exact terms of the acquisition have not been publicly disclosed.
How does Intersect Power source its key hardware and supply chain?
Intersect has anchored its supply chain with two major domestic commitments. It secured 17.7 GWh of Tesla Megapacks, making it one of the world's largest buyers of the battery storage system. It also maintains a multi-billion-dollar, multi-year procurement partnership with First Solar for American-made photovoltaic modules. Both agreements are designed to de-risk cost and availability for its largest projects.
What investment stages or asset classes does Intersect Power target?
Intersect focuses exclusively on utility-scale physical infrastructure — renewable generation, battery energy storage, and co-located hyperscale data center campuses. It does not operate as a fund, make LP commitments, or invest in third-party developers. All capital is deployed directly into assets the firm develops, owns, and operates.
Who runs the firm's capital markets and financing activities?
Anneli Alers serves as Head of Capital Markets, overseeing project finance, tax equity, and debt structuring for Intersect's portfolio. Sheldon Kimber, as CEO and founder, sets the overall strategy and remains the firm's central voice on energy-transition infrastructure, frequently articulating the thesis that AI-driven demand is the defining force in power markets.
