Gridvara is built on a commitment to accuracy, transparency, and analytical rigor. This page explains how we source information, verify claims, and produce the analysis our readers rely on.

How We Source Information

Our analysis draws from a wide range of primary and secondary sources:

Regulatory Filings
SEC filings, FERC dockets, utility rate cases, and environmental permits provide verified data on project developments, financial commitments, and corporate strategies.

Official Announcements
Press releases, earnings calls, and investor presentations from energy companies, utilities, and technology firms.

Government Data
Energy Information Administration (EIA), International Energy Agency (IEA), Department of Energy (DOE), and regional grid operators (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, etc.).

Industry Research
Reports from Wood Mackenzie, BloombergNEF, S&P Global, Lazard, and other leading energy research firms.

Trade Publications
Coverage from Utility Dive, Canary Media, E&E News, and specialized industry outlets.

Our Editorial Standards

Verification
We verify claims against primary sources before publishing. When information cannot be independently confirmed, we clearly attribute it and note any limitations.

Separation of News and Analysis
We distinguish between reporting facts and offering interpretation. Our analysis sections clearly present our perspective on what developments mean for the market.

Corrections
When we make errors, we correct them promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted on the original article.

Independence
Our editorial content is independent of commercial considerations. Sponsored content is clearly labeled and separated from editorial analysis.
