Swiss Precision. AI Speed.

Built on the Front Line
Of Renewable Energy

Diligent Energy AI was founded by engineers and advisors who spent years developing, advising and signing off some of the largest projects in the world — and who believed the industry deserved better than months of manual diligence for every deal.

Our Mission

To accelerate the world's transition to renewable energy — with the rigour and trust every project deserves.

We saw sound projects wait months behind fragmented data rooms, missing engineering studies and opaque spreadsheets — while elsewhere, tight deadlines pushed diligence through without enough depth. Manual diligence forced the industry to treat rigour and speed as opposites — we set out to prove they were not. We built a platform that pairs agentic AI with senior human expert judgement: the rigour and trust deals depend on, at the speed the energy transition demands.

Our Edge

What Sets Us Apart

01

Multidisciplinary Engineering Expertise

We pair deep, multidisciplinary engineering experience with state-of-the-art AI — and a human expert always signs off. The platform does the heavy lifting across thousands of data points; senior engineers review and validate every conclusion. You get machine speed without trading away rigor.

02

Agentic AI Built for Energy

Not generic document processing. Our agentic AI orchestrates specialist AI agents purpose-built for the energy industry — they don't just read documents, they reason across them to surface where the risks hide.

03

Global Reach, Local Expertise

With a track record spanning 56+ countries and 5 GW+ of projects, we understand regional regulations, grid codes, and market dynamics wherever your project is located.

04

International Standards & Regulatory Expertise

Our founder serves as a Climate & Energy Advisor at ISO (International Organization for Standardization). We don't just follow international standards — we help improve them.

Our Team

Where Industry Expertise Meets Agentic AI

Engineers who've built the projects, advisors who've shaped the industry, and AI trained on both.

Global Footprint

Swiss HQ, Global Reach

Headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, we serve energy investors, developers, lenders, and EPCs worldwide. Our market intelligence spans global power markets, and our project experience covers Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. Swiss precision in engineering and data privacy, combined with the scale that only AI can deliver.

The energy transition is the defining challenge of our generation — and both speed and rigour will decide whether we meet it. That's why we built Diligent Energy AI: agentic AI with the judgement of senior industry experts, the scale and consistency of software, and access to our best-in-class data — compressing weeks of detailed work into hours. Because the speed of decarbonisation will be the speed of the human decisions behind it.
