In the next 30 years, the world will transform every part of the built environment to be climate positive green infrastructure. Knowing what, where, and how to build infrastructure generators like solar farms and large loads like data centers is one of the great opportunities of our time. However, there are problems!The Problem<a href="https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/transmission/lbnls-nationwide-interconnection-survey-has-good-news-and-bad-news-for-clean-energy">80%</a> of clean energy projects that developers start never actually get built because most projects are started without deep due diligence on zoning and interconnection due to the cost of collecting that data. This means $17B worth of canceled projects per year.Our SolutionPaces is software for developers to identify the best places to build and manage their projects. First we collect environmental, permitting, zoning, energy grid data from various different sources; then we analyze the data and use AI to identify the best places for developers to build their next projects. We then offer end to end vertical AI solutions powered by human experts to derisk projects faster than any other means.

Energy demand is skyrocketing, and renewable energy is the most scalable path forward. But today’s development process can’t move fast enough to meet global goals. Paces exists to change that. We are building software and services to accelerate renewable energy deployment and lower costs - unlocking one of the greatest opportunities of our time: transforming how infrastructure gets built and ensuring it’s built with renewable energy. Paces automates early-stage due diligence and provides the expertise to accelerate late-stage diligence, fast-tracking projects from siting to construction-ready. Our platform supports renewable energy and data center developers, real estate firms, and more by streamlining siting, interconnection, and permitting. With Paces, teams can de-risk decisions, shorten timelines, and get more renewable energy projects built.
