V1 public platform

Microgrid Pre-Feasibility & Pathway Platform

A research-first platform for testing whether a microgrid is warranted, whether a simpler local-energy step should come first, and what must be verified before formal feasibility.

The platform helps municipalities, researchers, developers, NGOs, funders, facility operators, and communities move from a local energy-security problem to a microgrid pre-feasibility pathway report across regulation, tariffs, utility engagement, pricing, contracts, financing, social license, and verification.

Preliminary decision-support only: not a formal feasibility study, legal opinion, engineering design, financial advice, utility approval, regulatory approval, or community consent process.

Create a preliminary report

The wizard is the V1 product flow. It checks available evidence before asking for private or site-specific data.

Examples prefill the same wizard used for a new assessment. They do not bypass review, research planning, optional private-data checks, or explicit report generation.
