Methodology

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.

Our Analytical Framework

When analyzing energy market developments, we consider:

Market Context
How does this development fit within broader industry trends? What precedents exist?

Financial Implications
What are the investment requirements, revenue impacts, and cost structures involved?

Technical Feasibility
Is the technology proven? What are the engineering challenges and timelines?

Regulatory Landscape
How do permitting, policy incentives, and compliance requirements affect outcomes?

Competitive Dynamics
How does this affect market positioning among competitors?

Data Presentation

When presenting data and statistics, we follow these principles:

Source Attribution
We cite the source of all data points and statistics.

Time Relevance
We note when data was collected and whether more recent information may be available.

Units and Definitions
We use standard industry units (MW, MWh, GW, TWh) and define technical terms when first introduced.

Limitations
We acknowledge when data is incomplete, estimated, or subject to revision.

Coverage Scope

Gridvara focuses on the intersection of energy infrastructure and technology demand:

Power generation (solar, wind, nuclear, natural gas, storage)
Electrical grid infrastructure and transmission
Data center energy consumption and procurement
Electric vehicle charging and transportation electrification
Carbon markets and climate policy
Energy technology and innovation

We primarily cover developments in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, with emphasis on markets driving global energy investment.
