Governments worldwide have been called on to "triple their renewable energy deployment by 2030" in order to limit warming to 1.5℃. US renewable energy needs to be installed 50% faster to attain this goal. However, today up to 50% of US renewable energy projects are being canceled or delayed and most of these cancellations are due to community opposition.
To tackle this challenge, PermitPal is building an AI platform to help Community Engagement Leads at renewable energy companies make siting decisions and more effectively engage with community members. We already have partnerships with the largest renewable energy developers in the US and several leading community engagement consultancies.
