Plume

Plume Finder is an AI site intelligence platform for energy infrastructure developers, covering solar, wind and other renewable projects. It helps developers find and assess land by combining geospatial, grid and regulatory data in one place and letting users query it in natural language. A user can ask a question such as which parcels lie within 2 kilometers of a 225 kV substation, outside Natura 2000 areas and in agricultural zones that allow solar, and receive an answer in seconds. For grid connection, the platform holds the project history of renewable sites in France and aims to predict connection queues from signals in local documents. Automated due diligence runs pre diagnostics across more than 100 custom criteria including zoning, environmental protections, grid proximity, flood zones, slope and heritage sites, with reports exportable as PDF and CSV. AI also reads local press, regulatory opinions and public filings to show who supports or opposes a project and where competing projects stand. The vendor cites more than 250 live data sources and four live countries, with a focus on Europe. It is built for development and origination teams at energy developers who want to screen more sites without adding headcount. Pricing is not published. The site offers demo bookings and a login for existing customers.
