🌎  The Opportunity

In the next 30 years, the world will transform every part of the built environment to be climate positive green infrastructure. But today’s development process can’t move fast enough to meet global goals. Paces exists to change that. We are providing software and services to accelerate power development - unlocking one of the greatest opportunities of our time: transforming how infrastructure gets built and ensuring it’s built with renewable energy.

🛠️  Our Solution

Paces builds Agentic AI for Power Projects and AI Infrastructure. We automate early-stage due diligence and provide 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 projects built.
