Battery storage developers
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.
Who it’s for
Built for teams making expensive site decisions
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.
Project development teams
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.
Interconnection / origination teams
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.
Site acquisition & diligence teams
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.
What a site screen brings together
One preliminary screen, six evidence dimensions
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.
Grid & InterconnectionRequires deeper diligence
Published interconnection context, assembled
Queue position, nearby substations, transmission corridors, and published capacity signals — drawn from public ISO/utility filings where available.

Parcel & JurisdictionVerified
Parcel, zoning, and jurisdiction basics
APN, ownership, acreage, zoning designation, jurisdiction boundaries, and overlay districts compiled from county assessor and planning records.

Permitting & PlanningConflicting
Permitting and planning signals
Conditional use, reclamation, site plan, and historical permit activity pulled from planning department portals where published online.

Environmental / SitingVerified
Environmental and siting considerations
Sensitive habitat overlays, fire severity zones, flood zones, agricultural designations, and known site constraints from mapped public datasets.

Project ActivityVerified
Relevant nearby project activity
Operating, queued, and recently withdrawn projects near the site — sourced only where a public record exists. No inferred or rumored projects.

Source Trail & UnknownsVerified
Source trail and unresolved questions
Every finding carries its source. Missing data is flagged as Unknown; conflicting data is flagged as Conflicting. Questions for next-stage diligence are listed.
Source register· SRC-REG
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.
Founder-led launch offer
Before option spend, get the public evidence organized.
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.
