Mandate
We work before conventional development begins.
UCREI advances transmission-adjacent development corridors for large-scale infrastructure, currently in Ontario.
Our role is to test whether the core conditions of a credible opportunity may align before a project is shaped, promoted, or presented to capital.

Developable industrial land
-
03
Compatible planning
-
04
Municipal and regional support
-
05
Water and transport infrastructure
-
06
Large-load demand
-
07
Rights-holder and community alignment
-
08
Technical and delivery capacity
-
09
Credible operators and capital partners
CORE MANDATE
UCREI coordinates early evidence across land, power, planning, infrastructure, governance and delivery.
The aim is not to force a project into existence.
The aim is to determine whether the conditions are strong enough to justify further work.
TARGET LOAD PROFILE
30–200
+MV
UCREI’s current thesis includes phased large-load opportunities in the range of 30–200+ MW.
This is a target load profile only. It does not mean secured power, available capacity, committed demand, or projects under development.
A GOVERNING PRINCIPLE
Proximity is not capacity.
Available land is not a project.
Interest is not alignment.
