Grid capacity mapping platform for solar and storage developers pre-computing interconnection availability; $66M raised serving AES and Invenergy with 500+ GW analyzed across MISO, ERCOT, PJM markets.
Nira Energy is a Denver-based renewable energy software company providing grid capacity mapping and interconnection analysis tools that help solar, battery storage, and data center developers identify optimal project sites based on available grid capacity — reducing the years-long interconnection study process to minutes by pre-computing capacity availability across major US electricity markets. Backed by Y Combinator with $66 million raised, Nira generated $3.6 million in revenue in 2024, serving 100+ leading energy developers including AES, Invenergy, and Scout Energy with 500+ gigawatts of interconnection studies processed.
YC-backed AI renewable energy developer finding profitable land/grid connections for solar and wind projects before competitors; addressing the 80-90% early-stage project failure rate as US needs 2,000 GW new capacity by 2035 for AI data centers.
Astro is a United States-based AI-powered renewable energy development company — backed by Y Combinator — building the first AI platform that de-risks and accelerates the early-stage development of solar, wind, and battery storage energy projects for the US market, identifying profitable land sites and grid connections for new gigawatt-scale renewable projects that traditional energy developers miss. Astro addresses a critical bottleneck in the US energy transition: the country needs an estimated 2,000 gigawatts of new renewable generation capacity by 2035 to power AI data centers, electric vehicles, and building electrification — but 80-90% of renewable energy projects fail in early development due to unexpected interconnection costs and grid constraints that developers only discover after spending months and millions on site acquisition and environmental studies.
