What they do

Problem

Power and data-center infrastructure projects are delayed and expensive because early- and late-stage due diligence (siting, interconnection, permitting) is slow and manual.

Solution

Paces provides agentic AI software and services that automate early-stage due diligence and accelerate later-stage diligence to fast-track renewable energy and data center projects from siting to construction-ready.

Who it's for

Renewable energy and data center developers, real estate firms, and other infrastructure project teams.
