Welcome to My Blog on Renewable Energy and Land Acquisition

Hi, I’m Jesus Quiroz — the creator of I-LOVE-ROW.com, a personal blog dedicated to sharing real-world insights from the right-of-way (ROW) industry.

By day, I serve as the Director of Acquisitions at a mid-sized right-of-way firm, where I focus on renewable energy and infrastructure development. My role centers on land acquisition, site selection, and securing private Gen-Tie connections to support efficient energy interconnection.

As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, selecting the right land for development has never been more critical. Through this blog, I share insights from my work identifying and securing ideal sites for solar projects, battery storage, and even crypto data centers. I also cover how my team and I help navigate private Gen-Tie connections to ensure seamless and efficient interconnection for each project.

You’ll find helpful tips and insights on land acquisition, interconnection studies, and renewable energy leases. I’m working with a strong team to tackle the challenges of land selection and move projects forward smoothly.

If you're involved in energy or infrastructure projects, this blog is for you. Explore the resources here to learn how we can help bring your renewable energy projects to life.
