Site Assessment
Resource, terrain and transmission proximity analysis to establish whether a parcel is genuinely developable.
Drogon Energy
From site selection to steady output.
Denver-based development advisory for renewable power projects — the unglamorous work of permits, interconnection queues and offtake that decides whether a project gets built.
Start a ConversationAbout Us
Renewable projects fail in predictable places. Rarely at the technology, occasionally at the finance, and very often in an interconnection queue or a county planning meeting that nobody staffed properly.
Drogon Energy concentrates on exactly those failure points. Julian Mercer founded the practice in Denver after years of watching technically sound projects stall on process, and the firm is deliberately weighted toward development rather than engineering.
We advise independent developers, landowners and municipal utilities across Colorado and the Mountain West on projects from two to eighty megawatts. We're candid about which sites shouldn't proceed, which is not always what a landowner wants to hear in the first meeting.
Our Expertise
Six areas where we do our most useful work for Denver businesses.
Permitting Strategy
County-by-county navigation of setbacks, use permits and the community engagement that quietly determines timelines.
Interconnection Management
Queue positioning and study management, with realistic timelines rather than the ones developers hope for.
Offtake & PPA Advisory
Power purchase agreement structuring that survives merchant price volatility across a twenty-year term.
Construction Oversight
Owner's-representative services through EPC selection, milestone verification and commissioning.
Asset Performance Review
Post-commissioning analysis comparing actual generation against the model, and diagnosing the gap.

Every engagement follows the same four stages, so you always know where you are and what comes next.

Resource, transmission and land control assessed before any money is spent.
Permit
Local approvals pursued with community engagement built in from the start.
Connect
Interconnection queue managed actively, with contingency for study delays.
