Taesa AI routes lines in minutes, and 7 of 10 delays come from licensing
Defining the route of a transmission line used to take weeks. According to Canal Solar, Taesa Ventures and Ambientare Geotech created GoBid, in an ANEEL R&D project, which cross references 320 geospatial layers and Ibama's Terms of Reference. Taesa speaks of minutes, with 86% accuracy on tower typology in tests.
The bottleneck shows up in ANEEL's data. At the 17th Cycle of Management Meetings for Transmission Concession Contracts, reported by eixos on 11/07/2025, 10 of 60 projects were delayed, 7 because of environmental licensing.
The tool acts before the licensing clock starts. A route with restrictions already mapped reduces the chance of a change of course after the auction, with the concession schedule running. The gain is measured in months of licensing.
With 31,900 km of new lines planned in PDE 2036, early screening becomes an advantage at auction. The proof will come when projects studied by the platform clear licensing on time.
