Transect Launches Risk Monitor to Help Developers Stay Ahead of Critical Project Risks

Transect today announced the launch of Risk Monitor, a solution that continuously tracks changes that could adversely impact energy infrastructure projects during development. Risk Monitor automatically detects and alerts developers to updates involving permits, species, community sentiment, parcel data, and other risk factors. This saves developers time and avoids surprises when trying to stay abreast of multiple changes across their project portfolio through manual means.

Once a report is run within the Transect platform, Risk Monitor continuously monitors the project site for material changes and notifies users when updates are detected.

"Project conditions can change significantly over the course of a multi-year development cycle," said Robin Laine, CEO of Transect. "Developers no longer need to track these changes manually for their entire project pipeline. Risk Monitor works in the background, alerting teams to potential issues early and enabling them to move forward with greater confidence."

Risk Monitor tracks changes across a broad set of categories, including:

• Community sentiment - n conjunction with Transect Pulse products, Risk Monitor detects the release of media articles on community support or opposition for solar, wind, battery storage, and data center project development in the project county or sub-county jurisdiction. The system flags emerging opposition themes and identifies meaningful sentiment shifts over time.
• New projects - Newly announced or changed statuses of nearby solar, wind, battery, and data center projects.
• Federal and state permits - New or updated permits, regulatory changes, timeline adjustments, and new permitting guidance or recommendations.
• Federal and state species - Additions, removals, or changes to species of concern, and changes to the listing status of a species (e.g., from threatened to endangered).
• Parcel updates - Changes to parcel owners, parcel boundaries, zoning codes, and zoning descriptions.
• Energy Communities eligibility - Changes affecting whether a project overlaps with a qualifying Energy Community.

Risk Monitor is available immediately and is included with all new Transect subscriptions.
