About Nira Energy
- Nira's mission is to convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free.
- Nira is a software platform that helps renewable energy developers (solar/wind) find the most profitable land to build new projects.
- We focus on estimating the cost to interconnect with the electrical grid (aka the Interconnection Process). Depending on where developers connect, they may be on the hook to pay millions of dollars to upgrade power lines, substations etc.
- We are profitable!
