Compare candidate sites on one common basis, calibrated against a growing reference population of European sites, with planet and optimisation built in.
It depends on what grid capacity is actually available, whether the water basin is under stress, or how many competing facilities are already queued for permits nearby. Today these are scored once, at acquisition, by a consultant, and the answer is out of date soon after.
Price assets on data that is already out of date by the time it reaches the investment committee.
Commit land and permits before the binding constraint, usually grid power, is visible.
Grid mix, cooling climate and water stress set a site’s carbon and resource footprint for decades.
The stranded-asset situation in Ireland was not a failure of ambition or capital. It was a failure to track one risk factor, grid capacity, continuously, before it became a binding constraint. When the grid operator froze new connections, projects that looked viable at acquisition had no path to power.
Sono combines grid, climate and permitting signals into a single score, calibrated against a growing reference population of European sites, so you can compare candidates on a common basis before committing capital.
What capacity is actually available, and how the grid mix shapes the carbon footprint of the site.
Cooling climate, hazard exposure and whether the water basin is under stress.
Regulatory trajectory and how many competing facilities are already queued for permits nearby.
The question at this stage is narrow: should you commit capital here at all. The answer also sets the carbon and resource footprint of the next twenty years.
Nothing has to be installed at a candidate site. Sono reads external data for every location you are evaluating.
Grid and power diligence for each candidate.
Climate hazard zoning and exposure.
Permitting risk and competing facilities in the queue.
A growing reference population of European sites to calibrate the score.
