About

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 AI agents, software and services to accelerate power and data center 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.
