REplace Brings AI-Powered Clean Energy Platform to Michigan
Written by Casey Iaccino, MIBA Director of Innovation and Economic Expansion, and Bernard Bourgeois, Managing Director, Business Development
REplace, a cutting-edge renewable energy intelligence platform, is expanding its presence into the state – Michigan is the newest state that has been fully mapped in their platform making instantaneous decisions on sites for renewable projects possible for the first time. This strategic move signals growing momentum for AI-driven solutions in the Midwest’s evolving clean energy landscape.
The company’s core platform leverages artificial intelligence to pinpoint optimal sites for renewable energy development—including solar, wind, and storage—and dramatically accelerates project discovery and siting timelines from weeks to seconds. This results in improved ROI and faster deployment of clean energy infrastructure across the state, which is great news for Michigan.
In tandem with its Michigan expansion, REplace has also launched a powerful new product, “Project Search,” which targets M&A opportunities in the secondary market—including late-stage or stalled renewable projects. This feature is already gaining traction in collaboration with a leading regional transmission organization (RTO) that covers portions of Michigan and other energy-rich markets. It’s proving particularly valuable in navigating the complexities of areas governed by Outside Build Based on Availability (OBBBA) policies.
With its dual focus on site optimization and acquisition intelligence, REplace aims to empower developers, investors, and utilities to make smarter decisions, faster.
“We’re seeing strong demand for our new M&A tools, and Michigan is the perfect next step,” noted REplace’s CEO. “We’d welcome introductions to developers active in the region.”
REplace’s arrival in Michigan highlights a growing trend: clean energy development is increasingly reliant on data-driven platforms that combine GIS, permitting intelligence, grid analytics, and market dynamics—a space REplace is leading.
If you’re a developer or investor exploring Michigan opportunities, now may be the perfect time to connect with this fast-scaling team.
