By Amit Chowdhry ● Apr 30, 2026

Euclid, the operating system for renewable energy M&A, project development, financing, and operations, has announced the acquisition of Thresh Power, an AI-powered platform that automates diligence for renewable energy projects. The acquisition comes at a moment of extraordinary demand for renewable energy development, with US electricity consumption projected to grow 25% by 2030 driven in large part by AI-related power needs.

Euclid says the combination with Thresh will give renewable energy teams the tools to compress the time from raw data to investment decision.
