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 — distributed systems, geospatial data, and the kind of large-scale enterprise infrastructure that keeps customer data isolated and audit-trailed by default. He holds a BSE in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan.
Zonevex started after months of going deep on FERC Order 2023, every RTO’s published tariff and business practice manuals, and the cadastral data layer that connects lease documents to RTO compliance gates. The product is built ground-up around those rules — not generic CRM software with an interconnection sticker on it.
Honest disclosure: Zonevex is early. We’re actively looking for our first design partners and would rather earn a real reference customer than manufacture one. If you’re a developer who wants to shape the product as we go, that’s the conversation we want to have.
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 Projects that can't demonstrate sufficient coverage at each stage are automatically withdrawn from the queue — no exceptions, no extensions.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.
Want to see your own portfolio in it?
Send us your portfolio (or your highest-priority projects). We’ll run each one against the applicable RTO’s stage-aware filters and return a per-project risk grade. No call, no commitment.
