- Announcing Our AWS Energy Partnership and RE+ Showcase
Dear Spark community,
We hope you're embracing the final days of this exceptionally hot summer. Our August issue brings you exciting updates on our products and partnerships, and details on where to find us at RE+. As always, we've curated our favorite resources from the past month.
It’s Day One for us with AWS!
We're thrilled to share that Spark AI has been chosen as one of 15 startups for the AWS (Amazon Web Services) Generative AI Energy Lab, selected from over 800 applications across 74 countries.
From site screening to portfolio workflows, Spark accelerates the development of utility and distributed clean energy. We look forward to connecting and collaborating with AWS enterprise customers to test and deploy our generative AI climate tech solutions.
Product Highlight: AI Reports
Spark is developing advanced capabilities to evaluate community and utility-scale solar + storage opportunities. For individual parcels or bulk lists, our system extracts and analyzes:
Local sentiment from meeting minutes and news
Permitting requirements, moratoria, and zoning ordinance
Utility rates and tariffs
Interconnection processes
…And more site-specific information from various websites, PDFs, and datasets
Since our July update, we've made significant progress in aggregating and summarizing information across multiple states, including New York, Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, California, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
We’ve improved our capabilities to aggregate insights from any state or market at the click of a button. And it’s resonating with you, as we experienced unprecedented usage during August.
We're continuously evolving our functionality and data, with updates rolling out every week. As we evolve, we’re accepting a limited number of partners for our early access program. Interested in shaping Spark's future? Book a demo, and let's explore how we can work together.
