Streamlining Environmental Permitting in Clean Energy Development with Robin Laine, CEO of Transect EP 135

Streamlining Environmental Permitting in Clean Energy Development with Robin Laine, CEO of Transect EP 135

Welcome to the Clean Power Hour! On today’s show, we are joined by Robin Laine, CEO of Transect. Transect empowers solar and wind energy developers to take control of the environmental permitting process, delivering due diligence in minutes - not weeks or months. 

Robin Laine is the CEO, and Founder of Transect, Inc., a SaaS-based software platform. She is an environmental subject matter expert with decades of national experience managing natural resources compliance and permitting projects.

Robin served as a field biologist, project manager, division director, and national program manager for local, regional, and national environmental consulting firms. In addition to advising her clients on environmental requirements, Robin established in-house natural resource compliance processes for numerous enterprise energy companies. She gave presentations across the U.S. educating various industries on managing federal and state environmental regulations. 

She currently leads Transect and its mission to accelerate how we consume environmental data now and into the future. Robin earned a B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from the University of Texas at Austin and a business certificate from the McCombs School of Business.

Today Robin joins Tim Montague to discuss the importance of environmental permitting and conducting due diligence before starting a project, Robin’s history that led her to co-founding Transect, what Transect does, and how they automate due diligence to reduce the wait time from weeks to just a few minutes, the advantage of using Transect over using the public database to conduct due diligence and much more.
