Webinar: De-Risking Renewable Projects at Speed

On-demand

Our customer, Solkraft Sør, has developed a blueprint for navigating the universal developer dilemma: Under a strict zero-nature-loss constraint, no disruption to productive forests, agricultural land, or valuable wetlands, they have successfully scaled a greenfield-to-COD solar and battery storage (BESS) pipeline.

In this session, Solkraft Sør shares how they use an AI-driven screening process to secure full community and political backing while eliminating risk early in the development cycle.


Agenda

  • Part 1: The Screening Bottleneck: See how grid and other constraints are a great starting points for any PV and BESS development project.

  • Part 2: The 5-Stage Development Engine: A repeatable framework for de-risked pipeline growth with AI-assisted risk screening, rapid layout generation, and permitting acceleration. 
  • Part 3: Supporting Regional Energy Resilience: The Sandripheia case study: exploring how renewable portfolios contribute to increased energy production and stability to the grid to power needs in high-growth digital infrastructure regions.

Solving the Universal Developer Dilemma 

Europe's power demand is surging, driven in large part by the buildout of AI data centers. Developers are stuck at a crossroads: deliver clean, reliable energy fast, or protect the land it's built on. Most can't do both at scale.

Solkraft Sør has cracked it. They work under a strict zero-nature-loss constraint: no disruption to productive forests, agricultural land, or valuable wetlands. Even so, they've built and scaled a greenfield-to-COD solar and battery storage (BESS) pipeline across complex, high-friction terrain, with full community and political backing. They did it using an AI-driven screening and design process that eliminates risk before capital is committed.

This is a repeatable framework for cutting screening time, killing bad sites early, and accelerating permitting. It applies wherever land-use complexity slows you down, from forestry-dense terrain to fragmented cadastral maps across Europe.

Join Nikolai Bjørnsen, Head of Project Development at Solkraft Sør, and Even Kvelland, Chief Commercial Officer at Glint Solar, as they walk through the AI-driven, community-backed framework that's helping developers de-risk and accelerate solar and BESS pipelines, without compromising on zero-nature-loss constraints.

What you'll learn

  • The 5-Stage Development Engine: a repeatable framework for moving from a blank map to a buildable, bankable hybrid solar/BESS layout in minutes, not months
  • AI-Assisted Risk Screening: how automatically flagging environmental, grid, and community risk before capital commitment cuts dead-pipeline write-offs
  • Portfolio-Level Triage: how to rank and prioritize hundreds of candidate sites in parallel, not just design one site at a time
  • Flipping NIMBY to YIMBY: how photorealistic 3D visualization turns local resistance into political and community backing, and shortens time-to-permit
  • The Sustainable Growth Blueprint: a real-world look at the Sandripheia solar and battery park in Vennesla, demonstrating how localized generation and storage support regional grid stability and help meet the energy needs of expanding industries, including nearby data center developments.
