About

Following the successful sale of Galehead Development to Macquarie Asset Management, ETX Upstream was spun out and launched by Galehead's founders to respond to emergent Energy Transition market opportunities (read the press release).

ETX was stood up with a tenured and cohesive team, the LandCommand Platform, and a portfolio of development assets and active engagements previously incubated under Galehead's R&D business unit. ETX is focused initially on providing land finance for Energy Transition infrastructure, greenfield development for load customers, and bespoke joint development/services powered by the LandCommand Platform.

Matt Marino co-founded Galehead in 2016 and served as the Chief Executive Officer. Matt’s responsibilities included establishing business and market strategies, managing the project development team, and leading commercial activities. Matt led capital raising and partnerships that successfully financed Galehead's multi-GW portfolio including Macquarie's investments in the platform. Matt is an ETX co-founder focused on strategy, capital partnerships and new investments.

Patrick Martin co-founded Galehead in 2016 and served as the Chief Operating Officer. Patrick was responsible for Galehead’s corporate finance and operations, data analytics capabilities, and entry into new markets. Patrick also led the development and asset management of the LandCommand® Platform. Patrick is an ETX co-founder focused on corporate operations and LandCommand deployments.

John Clifford joined Galehead as a co-founder in 2017 and served as the Chief Revenue Officer. John was responsible for business development with Galehead’s downstream partners and as well as land services. John’s teams led market entry, landowner relations, and >200k acres of site acquisition. John is an ETX co-founder focused on commercial partnerships and land services.

ETX Upstream invests in, develops and manages assets across three Energy Transition strategies:

TEAM

Land

Specialized capabilities and financing to plan and underwrite development-stage land investments for Energy Transition projects.

Load

Providing power solutions and accelerating “time-to-power” for high-growth C&I load customers and market resources.

Services

White label market research and campaign design for third-party developers, sponsors and investors powered by the LandCommand® Platform.

LandCommand Platform

Deep market and land analytics combined with search functionality make LandCommand an unparalleled tool for fast, accurate and scalable greenfield project siting and development. Through ETX, LandCommand will expand its reach beyond core renewables to support the deployment of emergent Energy Transition technologies, projects and infrastructure.

Incubated by the ETX founders as a proprietary differentiator for launching and scaling Galehead Development, LandCommand was the trusted market analytics and site selection software for a $2+ Billion portfolio of operational energy infrastructure.

ETX Upstream has a rich track record of collaboration and joint development arrangements.

Investment

ETX is invested in a portfolio of Energy Transition start-ups, projects and development assets.

Project Siting

Proven methods and technology to avoid dry holes and reliably convert greenfield sites, including “white label” licensing of the LandCommand Platform.

Land Acquisition

Specialized capabilities and financing to plan and underwrite development-stage land investments for Energy Transition projects.

Power Solutions

Scalable power development is in our DNA. ETX is developing non-grid power solutions for high-growth load customers that require reliable “time to power.”

Utility and Local Partnerships

ETX is partnered with utilities and community leaders to finance and develop projects aligned with their local planning priorities.
