Four questions to ask of every seller data room, from who really controls the land to what’s changed on the grid since the room was built.

Paces is launching two new tools, Transmission Line Reports and Injection Studies, that let renewable energy developers and utilities assess grid transmission feasibility and forecast interconnection costs in days instead of months. By surfacing this data earlier, teams can compare sites, avoid costly late-stage surprises, and make faster, better-informed capital decisions.

The first Paces Accelerate webinar explored how development teams can better understand interconnection requirements, timelines, costs, and project-specific exposure before committing capital.

Texas’s audit of its 474 GW data center queue puts speculative projects on notice, and signals that community impact may be the next major constraint on development.

Paces Agent is an autonomous AI that runs end-to-end power development workflows, from siting to diligence and permit/IX submissions, at machine speed, with expert-validated results.

Energy development is a perfect application for vertical AI, but building it right requires more than a good model. Paces' Kyle Baranko shares how the team combines agentic workflows with human expertise to compress weeks of diligence work into days.

Part 2 of the Development De-risking series. In Part 1, we covered how data center developers can validate power at every stage of the power funnel. But $98 billion in blocked and delayed data center projects in Q2 2025 alone signals that power readiness isn't enough; the real opportunity to get ahead lies in parallel power and risk diligence. The teams winning the development race are validating power and other risks simultaneously, and doing so quickly.

New data shows a market bifurcating in real time, and a new generation of developers emerging at the edge.

With $2.8 trillion flowing into U.S. data center infrastructure by 2030, competition for power-ready sites is intensifying. The power development funnel shows developers how to move faster by validating power feasibility at every stage before competitors lock up the best locations.
