Agentic AI for Power Projects and AI Infrastructure
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.
Paces offers an AI agent and software platform to accelerate power development by automating diligence, de-risking projects, and guiding users from origination to construction-ready faster. It targets power developers and data center developers with an integrated stack of software, reports, and expert services.
An AI Agent orchestrates a unified stack of software, modular reports, and expert‑validated services to accelerate site viability, identify grid constraints, and unlock scale in power development. The platform automates key workflows, enables parallel development stages, and provides expert‑backed reports and services to de‑risk projects early, accelerate pipeline growth, and shorten time to shovel-ready by up to 50%.
Who it’s for: Power developers; data center developers; utilities and energy development teams
Marketing emphasis on demo signups, case studies, and reported testimonials; mentions of multiple customer use cases and growth in pipeline
