Origin

Built from inside renewable M&A

Our solution was born from direct experience evaluating renewable energy projects across multiple markets.

Matias Sigal, CEO, repeatedly encountered the same challenge: early project viability was difficult to assess consistently, even for experienced teams.

After years of effort and money, he kept seeing projects fail. He wasn't willing to simply accept this as an industry norm.

Context

Why renewable project development is getting harder

Energy demand is surging right now, driven by data centers, electrification, the onshoring of industry, and industrial growth. It's the biggest opportunity the energy transition has ever had.

But the entire system is under strain:

Policy shifts are changing how projects qualify for incentives.
Interconnection queues are ballooning to more than 2.6 TW of proposed capacity.
Greenfield development can't move fast enough to meet near-term demand.

M&A is the fastest way to bring capacity online, but teams need better visibility. Without it, capital risks getting misallocated, timelines will get delayed - and the opportunity to match clean power with rising demand diminishes.

Approach

The REplace approach

iQueue is REplace's flagship platform for renewable M&A intelligence.

The platform brings together all the essential data relating to projects under development in the US interconnection queue, including current land, permitting, market intelligence, and more.

The result is less time spent on manual research, lower acquisition risk, and faster, more confident investment decisions:

Deal flow is sourced primarily through brokers and established networks.

Early screening based on partial indicators, such as queue position, with limited visibility into ownership, permitting, and grid constraints.

Manual interpretation of PDFs, RTO portals, spreadsheets, and emails, often requiring expert judgment, project by project.

Data must be manually cross-checked across multiple sources, with limited confidence in accuracy and completeness.

Opportunities surfaced proactively from the interconnection queue.

LLMs extract interconnection data hidden inside thousands of PDFs updated every few months, structured by energy experts and unified through a dedicated data collection mechanism.

Provides a comprehensive view of grid, project, land, permitting, and ownership data across geospatial layers, enabling map, table, filtering, and one-click go or no-go decisions.

Continuously updated and validated data in a single system, giving teams confidence in what they're seeing and reducing the need for manual verification.
