Renewable Energy Land Services assists developers in finding the land necessary to develop large infrastructure projects. Our team is experienced with wind projects as complex as 100,000+ acres with hundreds of landowners to single owner BESS sites. Our GIS capabilities and proprietary data allow us to laser-target parcels based on multiple factors:

This is where our competitors fall short. We assist developers in finding opportunities on the grid for their project, then capturing the land needed to support the business case at that location.

Solar Project Siting:

• Proximity to a POI with adequate transfer capacity
  • Ideally adjacent to existing substations with no physical or equipment limitations on interconnection
  • Alternatively, siting of potential line-tap substation and negotiation of assignable purchase option for TSP facilities.
• Shift Factor
• LMP Pricing
• Congestion/ Curtailment
• DSP Pre-screening for DG Solar

Our datasets cover the following for environmental siting:

Texas and State-Level Datasets Utilized:

• Superfund and Environmental Remediation:

  • State Superfund Registry, Delisted Superfund sites, and Voluntary Cleanup Programs (VCP) for tracking hazardous waste sites and cleanup efforts.

• Waste Management:

  • Permitted Solid Waste Facilities, Closed Landfill Inventories (statewide and regional like HGAC and AACOG), and Industrial and Hazardous Waste facilities (IHW), including generators, receivers, and transporters.

• Petroleum and Storage Tanks:

  • Leaking Petroleum Storage Tanks (LPST), Underground and Aboveground Storage Tanks (UST/AST), and associated historical tank notifications and inventories.

• Groundwater Protection:

  • Groundwater Contamination Cases, Affected Property Assessment Reports (APAR), and Edwards Aquifer Permits.

• Dry Cleaner Remediation:

  • Dry Cleaner Remediation Program, Registered Dry Cleaning Facilities, and associated delisted sites.

• Spills and Violations:

  • Spills Database, Notices of Violation (NOV), and Notices of Enforcement (NOE) for environmental compliance monitoring.

• Air and Emissions:

  • New Source Review (NSR) Air Permits and Point Source Emissions Inventory for tracking industrial air emissions.

• Special Programs and Controls:

  • Sites with institutional or engineering controls (AUL), Land Application Permits, and PFAS-related monitoring for emerging contaminants.

We have integrated in our GIS capabilities the latest slope, elevation, terrain, zoning restrictions, 110m hub height wind resource data, wind roughness, wind rose data, solar irradiance, shading data, weather and climate data (hail risk), Soil composition and karst location data, as well as IRA-locational incentives. 

We have aggregated street-level GIS data from many fiber carriers to plan your project’s fiber carrier connections. We have a proprietary load dataset we can employ to prospect for datacenters using load potential and proximity to fiber.
