This recap highlights the biggest takeaways from RE+ 2025, the clean energy industry’s largest event. From shifting policy and strained interconnection queues to capital recycling, storage momentum, and real estate diligence, it captures the conversations shaping how projects get built — and what developers, investors, and partners need to prepare for next.

This playbook is a strategic guide for renewable energy developers navigating the fast-moving landscape created by the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA). It breaks down the critical 30-month window for securing federal tax credits, shoring up supply chains, and accelerating construction timelines before incentives phase out.

Outdated, disjointed workflows are slowing renewable energy deployment just as grid demand surges from AI, data centers, and electrification. Building on the foundation of Paces’ Accelerated Development Framework (ADF), unified workflows eliminate silos, reduce rework, and help teams surface risks earlier. By centralizing expertise, automation, and decision-making in one environment, developers can move faster to site control, reduce costs, and deliver clean energy at the pace the grid now demands.

At CERAWeek, I saw firsthand how securing American energy supremacy has become imperative. With solar now delivering 66% of new grid capacity, renewables are clearly vital to our energy future. In order to best position renewables as the answer for growing load demand, the industry must embrace ADF. The industry consensus: we must accelerate deployment to power America's AI leadership.

By 2030, data center power demand will surge by 160%, but outdated development workflows slow renewable deployment. Paces’ Accelerated Development Framework (ADF) eliminates bottlenecks with AI-driven site vetting, pre-vetted locations, and integrated workflows, cutting timelines and costs while accelerating clean energy deployment to meet rising demand efficiently.

Discover how Paces is accelerating clean energy development in 2025 with expanded data coverage, innovative product updates, and the launch of Fractional Development Services. Reflecting on 2024 milestones, we’re charting the path forward for renewable energy deployment and empowering developers to reach NTP faster.

How does clean energy shape the future of artificial intelligence? This blog, written by our Solutions Engineer, Tony Wagler, explores insights from a talk by Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chairman of Google, and Craig Mundie, former Chief Research and Strategy Officer at Microsoft, on the critical role of energy in fueling AI advancements, the global competition for AI dominance, and the ethical challenges of innovation. Discover how Paces is driving renewable energy development to advance the AI build-out.

In this post, we share Paces’ perspective on anticipated challenges and opportunities in renewables, manufacturing, and energy independence under the new administration.

Introducing Paces' newest feature, the Environmental Report, which automates site screening for renewable energy projects. With 80% of renewable energy projects failing to reach NTP, Environmental Report is designed to empower developers by consolidating critical environmental, zoning, and permitting data into a single, comprehensive report within minutes—helping teams make faster, more informed decisions and avoid costly delays.
