Berlin-based startup dvlp.energy was a finalist in the Smart Integrated Energy category for The smarter E AWARD 2024. The company offers an online tool designed to assist with the complex planning tasks associated with large-scale renewable energy projects like ground-mounted PV systems and large-scale storage systems. This tool integrates various data sources, including grid operators and land registry offices, into a cloud-based software environment, facilitating the planning process with data layers that are accessible and manageable online.

dvlp.energy utilizes AI to enhance these data layers, generating new insights from publicly available sources such as the core energy market data register. This AI integration allows for the evaluation of critical aspects, such as grid connection possibilities, making it an essential tool for project developers. The platform's capability to pull from over 1,000 data sets specific to Germany enables developers to swiftly identify and analyze potential sites, examining factors like ground type, site shape, zoning, environmental considerations, and grid connectivity.

In addition to streamlining the reporting and site analysis processes, this cloud-based platform also connects developers with property owners interested in renewable projects. dvlp.energy plans to expand its software’s application across Europe to help accelerate renewable energy deployment throughout the region.
