We develop energy infrastructure
that deploys capital.
From feasibility through operation, we originate, structure, finance, and deliver commercial and public-sector energy infrastructure — engineered to perform financially, not just technically.
We approach energy as long-term infrastructure — not short-term installation.
With global energy markets under pressure — Strait of Hormuz, supply volatility, rising utility costs — domestic energy infrastructure is no longer a cost play. It is a strategic necessity. We build the projects that respond to that reality.

Public-sector & C&I projects across Ohio — municipal, agricultural, and industrial sectors.
"Inspired by my grandfather's leadership championing renewable energy during the Great Recession."

Development & Delivery
Standard Fintech originates, finances, and delivers commercial and public-sector energy projects. We coordinate engineering, financing, and construction under a single developer — accountable for outcomes from first underwriting through long-term operation.
We evaluate load profiles, tariff structures, site constraints, and incentive eligibility to determine whether a project is viable and financeable before any capital is committed or equipment is specified.
We assemble and execute financing structures that layer federal tax credits, USDA programs, grant funding, and tax-equity — engineered to achieve positive project cash flow, not approximated after the fact.
We manage engineering coordination, utility interconnection filings, and permit execution — acting as the accountable developer who keeps technical workstreams moving and aligned with the project financial model.
We implement partnership flip, sale-leaseback, and inverted lease structures against the owner's tax position and operating objectives. Ownership structure is determined at origination — before it can constrain project economics.
We remain accountable for project performance after commissioning — monitoring output against financial model projections, managing variance, and delivering structured reporting across the full operating term.
We develop and deliver energy projects for municipal entities, school districts, counties, and public authorities — structuring finance and procurement approaches compatible with public bidding requirements and Ohio public finance law.
Projects designed around
incentives first
We structure the capital stack before specifying equipment — so projects are financeable before construction begins. Incentive programs stacked at origination, not applied retroactively, is what separates projects that close from projects that stall.
-
ITC
Investment Tax Credit
30% federal tax credit structured into the capital stack at origination — reducing equity requirements, improving project returns, and unlocking downstream financing. Domestic content and energy community adders evaluated at feasibility, not discovered during construction.
-
REAP
Rural Energy for America
USDA grant program available to qualifying agricultural producers and rural business entities. Grant coverage varies by project and eligibility — we assess applicability and manage the full application process as part of project development, not as a standalone consulting scope.
-
USDA
Business & Industry Loans
USDA Business & Industry guaranteed loans with terms to 25 years — deployed in combination with REAP grants and ITC to minimize equity requirements and deliver positive operating cash flow from commissioning. Structured sequencing is what makes the stack work.
-
SREC
Solar Renewable Energy Credits
Ongoing compliance credit revenue that we model and structure at origination — not discovered post-construction. SREC market exposure and contract strategy are part of how we make long-term cash flow projections defensible.
Our Development
Process
Evaluate load, tariffs, site constraints, and eligibility. Determine whether the project is viable and financeable before any commitments are made.
Assemble the incentive stack and financing structure. Execute the capital position that makes the project financeable and cash-flow positive from operation.
Coordinate engineering, utility interconnection approvals, and procurement specifications. Technical workstreams managed in parallel with financing to compress the development timeline.
Execute EPC procurement and contracts, submit incentive applications, and manage construction delivery. We remain the single point of accountability through commissioning.
Oversee operational performance and financial results across the asset's life. Monitor output against model projections, manage variance, and deliver structured reporting to owners and financing parties.
Dylan E. Worden
Principal
Standard Fintech is engaged on complex commercial, municipal, and agricultural energy projects where financial structure determines viability. We function as the developer-operator — not a vendor or installer — responsible for structuring, financing, and delivering projects that perform against long-term financial models.
Dylan Worden leads origination and capital structuring: assembling incentive stacks across ITC, REAP, USDA Business & Industry, and direct pay mechanisms; structuring tax-equity through partnership flip and sale-leaseback arrangements; and managing projects from feasibility through long-term operation. Public-sector clients require a developer who understands procurement law, public finance compatibility, and how infrastructure decisions close — or stall indefinitely.
Dylan holds a degree in Renewable Energy from The Ohio State University and has developed projects across commercial, industrial, agricultural, and municipal sectors throughout Ohio. His work is grounded in Midwest market conditions, substation-level infrastructure constraints, and the regulatory and financial sequencing that determines whether capital deploys.
"My grandfather, Edward Straley, championed infrastructure investment as a Paulding County Commissioner during one of the most difficult economic periods in our region's history. He understood that infrastructure decisions require someone willing to take responsibility for outcomes — not just evaluate options. That's the model Standard Fintech is built on."
— Dylan E. WordenWhat the numbers
actually look like.
We develop projects that
actually get built.
Standard Fintech is engaged when a project needs to move from concept to financeable — and when someone needs to be accountable for whether it gets built and performs. If you're evaluating a commercial or public-sector energy project, contact us at the feasibility stage.
