You can put away your binoculars; the Transect marketplace has you covered. Threatened and Endangered Species Surveys are now available in the Transect Marketplace. Learn what protected species are present on your project site within a few days and see your reports in one place.
This marketplace offering allows you to avoid costly risks without sacrificing your project timeline.
We are excited to announce the release of Transect Reports 2.0, a significant update that brings a host of improvements to streamline your site assessment and evaluation processes. With an improved interface and enhanced export capabilities, you can now access and share the most important information easier and quicker than ever before.
Instant Parcel Search
If you’re a site originator, get ready to do a happy dance. With our instant parcel search, you can immediately filter down parcels of land with dozens of search criteria. And wait for it…you can then overlay those results with the percentage of buildable area on that parcel.
This automated approach is a game changer that could literally get you from 1000 parcels to 10 in a matter of seconds.
Show Me the Money
Financial Incentives Calculator
Now quickly see how many tax credits your project can apply for through the Inflation Reduction Act. Imagine viewing a calculation of your Investment and Production Tax Credit savings by project, adding it to a PDF report with a click of a button, and sharing with lenders and investors? Too easy.
This great new feature is ideal for your development, siting, and finance teams to quickly drive make-or-break decisions with your project.
Layers on Layers
Soils Map Enhancement
We’ve added more layers to your soil data. This quickly surfaces up key attributes from the soils datasets that you care most about, without having to dig deeper into the platform.
Now project developers and environmental teams will appreciate not needing to get their hands dirty.
Watch for Wildlife
Species Risk Heat Map
Imagine viewing species risk on a nationwide map and catching any show-stoppers before diving into your due diligence. Our new feature compiles threatened and endangered species with habitat characteristics that quickly show you where the risk exists on a given parcel. Often developers learn of species concern much later in the process, which can wreak havoc with timelines.
Catch these hangups early on, and your environmental team will love you for it.
Real-time Insight
Transmission Injection Layer
No one wants to be in the dark. But that’s often the case with utility-scale developers who need to find parcels that have available transmission capacity and avoid critical environmental issues.
Screen for transmission capacity and critical issues in seconds with our Nira layer integration.
