About Ally Kranz

I develop utility-scale clean energy from the ground up. As Director of Development at Hexagon Energy, I lead solar, storage, and geothermal projects across the US through every development stage: origination, permitting, interconnection, land acquisition, and power marketing. I\'m currently focused on supporting early-stage geothermal projects in community engagement, permitting strategy, and market entry. My approach is relationship-first. Whether I\'m working with landowners, community members, local officials, or planning boards, I focus on building trust and durable community support.
