Renewable Siting & Planning

Siting is an exclusion problem before it is an optimisation problem. Most land is unavailable (protected habitat, too steep, too close to housing, inside an airport zone, on floodplain, wrong land cover) and the work is in applying every constraint consistently across a territory rather than arguing about weights. This service does the exclusion first, transparently, then ranks what survives.

Constraint layers are configurable because the rules differ by jurisdiction and by technology: protected-area networks, slope thresholds, settlement buffers, aviation and radar zones, flood and landslide exposure, land cover classes, grid and road distance. Weighted multi-criteria scoring then ranks the remaining candidates, and every candidate carries an audit trail of which constraints it passed and on what data, which is what makes the result defensible in a planning process rather than merely persuasive.
