Enel Green Power (EGP) is looking for artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to be applied during the construction phase of renewable power plants to detect certain species of trees or other plant species, which may be rare, in danger of extinction or of particular importance for the local balance of biodiversity in the area in question, or which are protected by regulations.
Deadline: 14 February-2022

Enel Green Power (EGP) is looking for new tools to improve the environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation of its renewable plants, such as photovoltaic power plants and/or wind farms. In particular, EGP is looking for solutions to be applied during the construction phase of renewable power plants to detect selected species of trees or other vegetation that may be rare, in danger of extinction, or particularly important for the balance of local biodiversity in the area under consideration. or that are protected by regulation. Plant species incorrectly identified during the preliminary phase of a project could delay the construction of the renewable plant.
This challenge contributes to the following SDGs:
- Objective 9: Build resilient infrastructures, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation
- Objective 15: Protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Price: 20,000 $
IA criteria for protected vegetation
- Explain your proposal clearly in English, and attach documents (max 5 files, total size 25 MB) if necessary.
- This is a theoretical challenge, which only requires a proposal to be submitted. The prize for the challenge will depend on the researcher's theoretical assessment of the submission.
- To receive a reward, Solvers will not have to transfer exclusive intellectual property rights to the Seeker. Instead, Solver will grant the Seeker a non-exclusive licence to put its solutions into practice.
- Final award of this challenge is contingent upon satisfactory completion of the verification process, including acceptance of the Challenge Specific Agreement (CSA) which is the regulation for this challenge. The verification process includes obtaining the following from the solver: signed affidavit (based on the CSA), employee waiver (where applicable), proof of identity and questionnaire counterparty analysis (CAQ).
