# Noda: AI-native red-flag due diligence for renewable energy projects

## What Noda is

Noda is a SaaS platform that produces structured red-flag due diligence reports on renewable energy projects in under two hours. The reports are intended for the moment before a team commits to a Letter of Intent, a connection application, a full technical study, or a paid consultancy engagement. The output answers a single decision question: should we continue, clarify, treat this as high risk, or stop because there is not enough data.

Noda is in private beta. Pricing is not published and is discussed on a call.

## How a Noda report is generated

A user submits the project location, technology (solar PV, wind, BESS, hybrid), target capacity, project stage and any documents they hold. No official grid approval or full technical study is required. Documents accepted include project teasers, land documents, grid operator responses, Excel files from a prior consultant, scanned schemes, and partial PDFs.

Noda combines the user-submitted project data with geospatial analysis, public infrastructure registries, internal grid-risk models, resource and weather data, and a structured-output AI layer. The structured-output layer runs on top of deterministic physics calculations: contingency analysis, N-1 sizing, voltage assumptions, BESS charge and discharge logic. Findings carry confidence levels and explicit missing-data markers.

A report is returned in under two hours. Measured over the runs completed to date the median is 43 minutes, and one run in ten takes closer to four hours; complex portfolios, large hybrid configurations and multi-country reviews sit at that end.

## What the report covers

- Site and location context: surrounding grid, terrain, access constraints
- Capacity and technology assumptions for solar PV, wind, BESS or hybrid configurations
- Grid-connection signals: distance to relevant infrastructure, projected point of connection
- Evacuation and export: realistic export capacity and curtailment indicators
- Reinforcement risk: likelihood that grid upgrades will be required
- BESS import and export: charge and discharge assumptions, sizing logic
- Resource and weather: yield context for the technology and location
- Land and permitting: red flags before legal due diligence
- Document completeness: what is present, what is missing
- Open questions: what to clarify with the operator, consultant or advisor
- Confidence level per finding
- Preliminary verdict: continue, clarify, high risk, not enough data

## What Noda replaces

Traditional preliminary grid feasibility studies and red-flag due diligence engagements cost between 5,000 EUR and 50,000 EUR per project and take between four weeks and four months. That band comes from customer interviews conducted in May 2026.

Noda compresses the same scope to under two hours with the same structure plus a workspace for re-checking projects as documents or grid status change. Reports can be exported and handed to a consultant or technical advisor for downstream work without duplication.

## Pricing

- Workspace subscription: unlimited reports. No per-seat pricing. Cancel anytime from the workspace. The rate is not published and is discussed on a call.
- Marketplace listings: free during beta.


## The Noda cycle

1. Submit: add a site, project teaser or basic project data. No official grid approval required.
2. Analyze: Noda creates a structured red-flag report using project inputs, map context, grid signals, resource data and uploaded documents.
3. Report: receive the structured report with red flags, missing information, confidence levels and recommended next steps.
4. Decide: continue, clarify, high risk or not enough data.
5. Re-check: save the project to the workspace and re-run the report as documents, grid status or project assumptions change.

## G99 applications (United Kingdom)

For GB sites heading into a G99 connection application, Noda runs the first pass on the grid facts before the application is filed: grid connection signals around the site, the operator documents already held, capacity and curtailment context, and consistency problems across project documents. The report flags red flags with confidence levels and marks thin data. Noda does not fill in or submit the G99 form, does not talk to the DNO, and does not replace the engineer who signs off. Process requirements, timelines and charges for ENA Engineering Recommendation G99 are set by the Energy Networks Association and the distribution network operator; their guidance is authoritative on those points.

## Who Noda is for

Renewable investors, IPPs, project developers, EPCs, brokers, M&A advisors, asset managers, owner's engineers, technical consultants and advisors working with solar PV, wind, battery storage and hybrid projects.

Typical use cases captured from customer interviews:

- An infrastructure investor screening a teaser before signing an LOI.
- A developer checking if a greenfield site is worth a connection application.
- An EPC running a preliminary check for a client before larger development spend.
- A broker pre-qualifying projects before introducing them to capital.
- A portfolio team re-checking projects as paperwork and grid status change.
- A grid infrastructure expert looking for something between a desktop check and a full engineering study.

## What Noda does not do

- Noda does not replace official grid studies issued by a TSO or DSO.
- Noda does not replace certified engineering consultants, legal counsel or full technical due diligence.
- Noda is not a black-box AI report generator. Every finding carries confidence levels, assumptions and missing-data markers.
- Noda is not a public listing site. The marketplace shows anonymized projects to relevant audiences only.
