GeoSpatia Labs brings together source-backed grid, interconnection, parcel, permitting, environmental, and project context into a manually prepared brief — helping California BESS development teams screen candidate sites before committing deeper engineering or legal spend.

FavorableWhat you’re actually getting
Designed for the point in diligence when teams are still deciding where to focus — not for final engineering.
Findings reference identified public sources. Unknowns stay unknown rather than manufactured into certainty.
Initial launch wedge is California battery-energy-storage site screening. Coverage expands deliberately.
Replaces nothing from licensed engineers, utilities, or agencies. It organizes what to ask next.
A site screen organizes the relevant evidence scattered across agencies, utilities, filings, and maps — into a single source-backed brief. Findings are traceable; unknowns are clear.
Queue position, nearby substations, transmission corridors, and published capacity signals — drawn from public ISO/utility filings where available.
APN, ownership, acreage, zoning designation, jurisdiction boundaries, and overlay districts compiled from county assessor and planning records.
Conditional use, reclamation, site plan, and historical permit activity pulled from planning department portals where published online.
Sensitive habitat overlays, fire severity zones, flood zones, agricultural designations, and known site constraints from mapped public datasets.
Operating, queued, and recently withdrawn projects near the site — sourced only where a public record exists. No inferred or rumored projects.
Every finding carries its source. Missing data is flagged as Unknown; conflicting data is flagged as Conflicting. Questions for next-stage diligence are listed.
Scope note: source availability varies by site and jurisdiction. The exact source set is determined during screening; findings that cannot be sourced remain Unknown rather than inferred.
A focused four-step workflow. We handle the research friction so your team can spend time on the decisions that matter.
Send us a candidate California BESS location — address, APN, parcel, or coordinates. Tell us what you’re evaluating.
GeoSpatia Labs pulls relevant public-source evidence across grid, parcel, permitting, environmental, and project layers — and reconciles it.
You get a preliminary intelligence brief: findings, sources, unknowns, conflicts, and next-step questions — clearly separated from analysis.
Use the brief to direct deeper engineering, interconnection, legal, environmental, or permitting work where it’s actually warranted.
Every brief is manually prepared for your candidate site. Rather than generating synthetic certainty, the deliverable organizes verifiable public records into nine clear diligence sections — with high-resolution aerials, CAL FIRE hazard overlays, and transmission tie-in paths.
Search any California address or select a sample APN below to test the spatial evidence viewer your team receives in each brief.
⚡ PG&E Gates Substation (0.6 mi NW) · 🔥 CAL FIRE SRA Moderate Wildfire Zone
Synthesizes candidate location details, assessor parcel identification, general plan designations, and primary developer assumptions for the evaluation.
Reviews published utility substation proximity, transmission line corridors, known queue filings in the cluster, and published hosting capacity signals.
Documents cadastral parcel boundaries, local municipal or unincorporated county jurisdiction, underlying zoning classifications, and overlay districts.
Searches county and municipal planning repositories for conditional use permit (CUP) requirements, hearing records, and discretionary approvals.
Reviews state environmental databases, mapped flood hazard layers (FEMA), CAL FIRE severity zones, and identified biological or wetland buffer intersections.
Catalogs documented operating, queued, or withdrawn energy storage and generation projects within the immediate cluster or substation catchment area.
Every piece of information is explicitly categorized into Verified by Public Record, Unknown in Available Data, Conflicting Across Agencies, or Deeper Diligence Needed.
Compiles a complete bibliography of statutory records, agency portals, GIS layers, and filings used in the brief with timestamps and publication dates.
Translates open questions and flagged conflicts into actionable, specific inquiries for your electrical engineers, legal counsel, and environmental consultants.
We do not invent customer case studies or display mock sites with fake capacity numbers. The brief gives your team a source-backed summary of what public records show — and equips you with the exact questions to ask formal study engineers and local planning officials.

First five founder-led screens
Built manually with source-backed findings, transparent unknowns, and explicit diligence boundaries — no fabricated feasibility scores, capacity guarantees, or required calls.
For a team evaluating one California BESS parcel, APN, address, or coordinate set before committing deeper diligence spend.
For origination and development teams comparing multiple candidate parcels and deciding where to focus engineering, legal, or interconnection bandwidth.
For teams that need a steady external research desk to organize early evidence across a California BESS candidate pipeline.
Preview-first or instant checkout workflow
Developers can order directly with live card / Apple Pay checkout, or submit their candidate parcel first to receive written scope confirmation before any payment. If candidate geography falls outside California BESS coverage, inquiries are declined with no fee.
The initial launch serves California BESS developers and the teams around them. As coverage expands, the same evidence structure extends to adjacent infrastructure use cases.
Teams screening multiple candidate California BESS sites and deciding which deserve interconnection, engineering, and acquisition spend.
Use it to short-list sites before deploying limited development bandwidth.
Development leads coordinating origination, engineering, land, and permitting across a pipeline of early-stage opportunities.
Use it to align internal teams on what’s known, what’s missing, and what to do next.
Teams that need to triage queue position, substation proximity, and published interconnection signals across a set of candidates.
Use it to organize published ISO/utility context before commissioning formal studies.
Teams assembling site context for land decisions, investment reviews, or portfolio triage — where early evidence matters.
Use it to surface material unknowns and conflicts before option spend or capital commitment.
Scope note: at launch, GeoSpatia Labs focuses on California battery-energy-storage screening. Other geographies, technologies, and use cases are added deliberately — not implied.
Send us a candidate California BESS site and tell us what you are evaluating. They can inspect the public sample brief first. If the site fits current scope, we confirm the paid screen by email and deliver a structured brief with sources, findings, unknowns, conflicts, and next-step questions — no call required.
Launch pricing begins at $1,500/site. We review scope first; payment is handled after written confirmation, not through a sales call.
