About civicIQ RE

civicIQ-re is a U.S. nonprofit that helps renewable energy developers win the permits and goodwill they need. We build support the old-fashioned way, one conversation at a time, just conducted where residents already are: on their phones. We address concerns directly, and we win new hearts and minds with conversations about benefits a resident can point to from their porch: potholes fixed, pollinator grasses planted, a food pantry stocked. We engage hundreds to thousands of direct digital conversations per project area (SMS, email, social media), scaled to the population. We take the pulse of community sentiment, invite supporters off the sidelines, and give skeptical residents a tool to navigate conflicting claims about renewable energy on their own terms. Our AI-powered tool answers every question with vetted facts and a source people can verify themselves. In a recent controlled experiment, one conversation moved 22% of opposition to soften their stance and 51% of the on-the-fence to become supporters (n=50 and n=75, statistically significant). We don't guess. We know. The same AI expertise builds a project garden for every developer: a closed knowledge base planted only with what your team has approved. Ask it anything and get the speed and fluency of AI: a report with graphs from your data, a branded slide deck on demand, a real quote from a resident on why they support solar, pulled up on the spot. Every answer is grounded in your sources and cited. When something isn't in the garden yet, it says so, instead of guessing or scraping the open internet. That's how we build AI you can trust. The garden grows with every phase, so nothing is relearned and no handoff starts from zero. We work with renewable energy developers, transmission and storage teams, and trade associations, from first listening session to permit and beyond. Leave the community stronger than before your project arrived. That's the winning standard. Let civicIQ-re help you meet it.
