Amy Gutierrez, The Nature Conservancy: Unlocking Solar Potential with the LISST Tool

In this episode, explore the world of the Georgia Low Impact Solar Siting Tool (LISST) and its effect on the solar industry with Amy Gutierrez and Liv Haney. Follow the tool's evolution from a graduate school project into a critical resource for solar developers in Georgia. Gutierrez shows how LISST plays a pivotal role in environmental conservation efforts using intricate layers and datasets that comprise the solar suitability index. She discusses how LISST could be used for other renewable energy sources, and the exciting possibilities for maximizing co-benefits in solar site design. Plus, don't miss the discussion on how data collected by consultants can further sharpen the tool's effectiveness.
