Interconnection and permitting automation

The world needs to replace fossil fuels with clean energy sources fast — but we're not moving nearly quickly enough. Even as solar and wind costs have plummeted, we're still adding more fossil fuel capacity than clean energy in many regions. The challenge isn't just building more renewable power plants. It's also storing that energy when the sun isn't shining, upgrading ancient electrical grids, speeding up painfully slow permitting processes, and dealing with the reality that we've already built trillions of dollars worth of coal and gas infrastructure that someone paid for and expects to keep running.

Meanwhile, nearly a billion people still lack electricity entirely, and even in wealthy countries, our energy systems are rigid and wasteful. We need technology solutions that make clean energy cheaper, faster to deploy, and more reliable than fossil fuels — not just sometimes, but always.

A typical wind farm takes 3-5 years from initial planning to operation, and large transmission lines can take a decade or more. Meanwhile, we need to build clean energy infrastructure at unprecedented speed to meet climate goals. Permitting processes are slow and unpredictable, supply chains are strained, and every project faces unique engineering challenges.

We need technologies and processes that can cut development timelines from years to months, making clean energy deployment as fast and predictable as possible.

Digital platforms that streamline the complex process of getting approval to connect new energy projects to the electrical grid. This includes automated application processing, standardized technical reviews, and digital workflows that replace paper-based bureaucracy. The goal is reducing interconnection timelines from years to months.
