#EP323 Building clean energy projects faster starts with better tools. Maryssa Barron, Founder and CEO of BuildQ, joins Tim Montague to discuss how AI transforms energy project development. 

Maryssa Barron is the founder and CEO of BuildQ, the enterprise AI platform purpose-built for clean energy project teams to accelerate development, financing, and asset management. She brings cross-disciplinary expertise in renewable energy, project finance, and law, with experience spanning the full project lifecycle. 

Before founding BuildQ, Maryssa advised Fortune 50 companies and leading developers on renewable energy procurement at Edison Energy and LevelTen Energy. She also served as Chief Operating Officer of a global solar company, where she oversaw project development, financing, and operations across international markets. 

Key Highlights:

• How BuildQ reduces project analysis time from 3 weeks to 3 days
• Why one developer uses BuildQ instead of hiring 15 new employees
• AI frameworks that analyze interconnection queues and permitting data
• The role of human expertise in AI-assisted energy development
• How law firms and conservative industries are adopting AI tools
• China's 10X infrastructure buildout advantage and U.S. national security implications

• Early adoption benefits in the energy sector

The energy sector needs speed and scale. AI tools like BuildQ make both possible.
