What DevCore Does
Senior Development Execution Without Permanent G&A Overhead .
DevCore steps into active projects and drives the work required to move from early or mid-stage opportunity to NTP readiness.
We manage development work, coordinate consultants, track risks, push decisions forward, and keep the project moving against the schedule that matters.
Our role is simple: help your team advance more projects with experienced development leadership, disciplined execution, and clear accountability.
The Core Challenge
Pipeline Is Not Progress.
A Large Pipeline Is a Liability if Capital and Milestones Are Slipping.
Land progress slows to a crawl. Milestones slip. Outside counsel and engineers wait on direction. Internal teams stay buried in the daily noise, and the critical path loses momentum while overhead costs stack up.
If your portfolio is turning into brag-a-watts instead of bankable assets, DevCore closes the execution gap.
Powered-Land Diligence
Early Development Support For Powered-Land Opportunities.
DevCore helps clients evaluate the real development path behind a powered-land site.
That includes site control, transmission access, utility coordination, permitting constraints, land issues, environmental considerations, local stakeholder risk, and schedule feasibility.
The goal is to determine whether a site can realistically move from opportunity to executable project.

Who We Help
Built For Serious Project Owners And Lean Development Teams.
- Developers Developers with more projects than senior development bandwidth.
- IPPs IPPs advancing pipeline without adding permanent headcount.
- Infrastructure Funds Infrastructure funds that need execution support after acquiring or funding assets.
- Large-Load And Powered-Land Teams Large-load and powered-land teams evaluating site readiness, transmission access, and development risk.
- Renewable And Storage Developers Renewable and storage developers that need experienced support from site control through NTP.
How DevCore Works
A Practical Development System Built Around Execution.
- 1. Project Intake We review the project stage, schedule, commercial goals, existing work product, and known constraints.
- 2. Baseline Development Report We establish the current status of site control, title, interconnection, permitting, environmental, engineering, stakeholder, and NTP-readiness items.
- 3. Execution Plan We build a practical work plan tied to schedule, budget, responsibilities, risks, and required client decisions.
- 4. Weekly Development Management We coordinate landowners, consultants, engineers, utilities, agencies, internal teams, and outside counsel to keep the project moving.
- 5. NTP Readiness We drive toward a clear NTP package with risks tracked, decisions documented, and critical development work completed or actively managed.
Development Capabilities
Critical-Path Development Work.
Market Experience
Complex Development Markets Require Practical Execution.
Power projects move through a unique mix of land, transmission, utility, permitting, local, commercial, and timing constraints.
DevCore brings hands-on development experience to help clients understand where a project stands, what is blocking progress, and what needs to happen next.
We focus on practical execution, not theoretical strategy.
Experience
Led By Senior Development Experience.
DevCore is led by Dru Steubing, a renewable energy development executive with more than 20 years of experience across utility-scale wind, solar, storage, and complex infrastructure projects.
Dru has served as VP of Development for a national renewable energy developer and as Chief Development Officer for a development platform, with experience spanning site control, interconnection, permitting, stakeholder management, project commercialization, and construction-stage readiness.
DevCore was built to give clients access to senior development execution without the delay, cost, or permanence of adding internal headcount.

DevCore will review the opportunity and respond directly.
Dru Steubing
Founder
DevCore was founded by Dru Steubing, a 20-year renewable energy development executive who spent his career doing the work DevCore now delivers to clients. As Vice President of Development at Apex Clean Energy and Chief Development Officer at Galehead Development, Dru built and led teams that moved gigawatts of wind, solar, and storage projects from site control through construction. DevCore brings that same execution capability to developers who need experienced professionals on their pipeline without adding to their overhead.
