About James McWalter

I spend every day talking to developers, utilities, and energy buyers about one thing: how to build more clean energy projects faster.At Paces, we’re building software to de-risk renewable development from day one. We combine permitting, power, land, and infrastructure data to help teams find and evaluate sites faster than ever before. Today, some of the largest developers in the world use Paces to go from origination to NTP with more speed and confidence.I share what I’m learning in real time through my newsletter and podcast, Build, Repeat—conversations with the people creating energy abundance and figuring out what actually works.→ Subscribe here: https://share.hsforms.com/2tEnQ1az2RHGu0ZKKxr3EDQrmp2a→ Listen to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/build-repeat-a-paces-podcast/id15••••••18Let’s get more projects built, faster.
