Renewable Energy Developer Optimizes Due Diligence for Large-Scale Projects

National Renewable Energy Developer
Industry:
Renewable Energy / Real Estate Development
Results:
Secured Better Underwriting Terms
Challenge:
Site Feasibility assessment and Independent Data Selection

The Challenge

A leading renewable energy developer was facing critical delays in project timelines due to outdated title processes. Traditional underwriters took weeks to deliver title information, slowing down land acquisition and feasibility assessments at a time when speed and accuracy were crucial.

Even more limiting, once title data was requested from a specific insurer, the developer was effectively locked into using that insurer for coverage.

This constraint not only delayed due diligence but also eliminated their ability to shop around for the most competitive underwriting terms.

Siloed Searches, Stalled Growth

Compounding the issue, the manual nature of traditional title workflows made it difficult to run fast, large-scale feasibility studies across multiple potential sites. Each parcel had to be vetted individually through a siloed process, limiting the developer’s ability to evaluate land at scale. Without rapid access to accurate title data, the company risked acquiring parcels with hidden encumbrances or title defects, potentially jeopardizing multimillion-dollar investments and introducing long-term legal exposure.

The Solution

The developer partnered with Pippin Title to transform their due diligence process. Pippin delivered fast, reliable title searches, empowering the developer to evaluate site viability and uncover potential risks far earlier in the acquisition process.

Pippin’s independent platform also allowed the team to access title data without being tied to a specific insurer, giving them the freedom to compare coverage options and negotiate more favorable terms.
