Energy Site Selection & Grid Intelligence

The Energy Site Selection & Grid Intelligence Pilot compresses months of early-stage development work into a rapid, high-fidelity analytical package.

We combine:

• Remote sensing 
• Terrain intelligence
• Grid access modeling
• Climate and ESG constraints
   

…to produce ranked, decision-ready siting opportunities tailored to your region and project criteria.

This is the manual, high-value version of the scoring logic that will later become an automated API-driven product.

Identify optimal solar, wind, storage, and hybrid sites through multi-layer suitability scoring.

Includes:

1. Solar irradiance & wind potential (reanalysis + remote sensing)
2. Slope, roughness, and terrain class modeling
3. Road & access scoring
4. Distance-to-grid & substation proximity
5. Land-use & zoning compatibility
6. Terrain optimization for construction and cost

Overlay real infrastructure and market conditions to ensure grid-ready deployment.

Includes:

1. Transmission & distribution network mapping
2. Substation access scoring
3. Congestion proxy modeling (ISO queues + known constraints)
4. Curtailment risk indicators
5. Load-zone prioritization for resilience and ROI
    

Pre-empt siting failure by integrating environmental, regulatory, and hazard layers.

Includes:

1. ESA, wetlands, protected areas
2. Fire, flood, and heat-risk models
3. Permitting friction and jurisdictional complexity
4. Long-horizon climate exposure
    

Delivered via your preferred format: dashboard preview, GIS exports, or private client report:

Outputs:

1. Ranked siting shortlist (solar, wind, storage, hybrid)
2. Opportunity scoring map suite
3. Infrastructure & constraint overlays
4. Regional siting brief (8–12 pages)
5. GIS export package (GeoJSON, SHP, KML, or API-ready format)
    

1. Utility-scale solar and wind scouting
2. Storage & hybrid system placement
3. Private-equity energy portfolios
4. Regional grid modernization planning
5. Early-stage feasibility and site elimination
6. Pre-permitting & risk-adjusted screening
    

• Timeline: 6–12 weeks
• Deliverables:
  • Siting scoring dashboard (static or preview mode)
  • Integrated infrastructure layer set
  • Siting opportunity brief
  • GIS export package

This pilot forms the foundation for Sustainable Exploration’s upcoming automated siting engine, which will add:
