Compliance infrastructure for the energy transition

Zonevex automates site control validation for utility-scale generation projects. We help solar, wind, storage, and gas developers stay compliant with FERC Order 2023 requirements across every RTO and every queue milestone.

Ryan is a software engineer at a FAANG company with experience spanning energy infrastructure, geospatial systems, and enterprise product development. He founded Zonevex after seeing firsthand how manual and error-prone site control compliance remains for utility-scale developers — even as the regulatory stakes have grown significantly under FERC Order 2023.

Prior to Zonevex, Ryan worked across full-stack engineering, distributed systems, and data infrastructure. He holds a BSE in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan.

What we do

Document Extraction

Upload lease PDFs and land instruments. Zonevex extracts key terms — legal descriptions, instrument types, expiration dates, and signatory information — automatically.

Spatial Coverage Analysis

Parsed legal descriptions are matched against cadastral parcel boundaries to calculate site control coverage, identify gaps, and flag overlapping instruments.

RTO Compliance Engine

Stage-aware validation against each RTO's specific site control rules. Coverage thresholds, instrument eligibility, and milestone deadlines — tracked continuously across PJM, MISO, CAISO, ISO-NE, NYISO, and SPP.

Proactive Alerts

Milestone-aware notifications for expiring instruments, coverage shortfalls, and approaching queue deadlines — so teams can act before compliance gaps become withdrawals.

The problem

FERC Order 2023 made site control a hard gate at every interconnection milestone. Projects that can't demonstrate sufficient coverage at each stage are automatically withdrawn from the queue — no exceptions, no extensions.

Today, most developers still manage this process manually: lease documents are reviewed one at a time, coverage is tracked in spreadsheets, and the entire analysis has to be rebuilt whenever a single instrument changes. For portfolios with dozens of projects across multiple RTOs, this creates significant compliance risk and operational overhead.

Zonevex replaces that manual workflow with a single platform. Upload your documents, and the system handles extraction, spatial analysis, rule application, and compliance reporting — continuously and across all six RTOs.
