The Power Race

AI Needs Electricity to Survive

Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are racing to secure power. The grid data they use costs millions. Now you can access it too.

Opacity

The Grid is a Black Box

THE PROBLEM

Grid capacity data is buried in thousands of PDF filings across regional ISOs. A substation in rural Virginia might have 50MW of spare capacity—but finding that information requires reading hundreds of documents manually.

GRID CAPACITY API

We parse every interconnection filing, capacity report, and queue update across PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, and SPP. Query by region, county, or minimum MW and get structured JSON in milliseconds.

Queue Intel

Who's Ahead of You?

THE PROBLEM

When you find a promising substation, you need to know your position in the interconnection queue. Who else is trying to connect? What's their MW request? This intel is scattered across regulatory filings.

GRID CAPACITY API

Our Queue Intel tier shows you exactly who's ahead in line at any substation. See their company name, MW request, filing date, and estimated timeline. Know if you're fighting Google for the same power.

Millions for This Data

THE PROBLEM

Energy traders and infrastructure PE firms pay millions to consultants for this intelligence. By the time you get a report, the best sites are already claimed by Microsoft, Google, or Amazon.

GRID CAPACITY API

Get the same data via API for $50-$500 per query. Your site selection agents can programmatically scan every substation in a region and find opportunities before your competitors even start their search.

Three Steps to Power Intel

From query to actionable site intelligence in under 200 milliseconds.

01

Query by Region

Your site selection agent specifies the target ISO region, minimum MW requirement, and any other filters (county, voltage level, proximity to fiber).

// Find available capacity in PJM region
const results = await gridCapacity.query({
  region: "PJM",
  min_mw: 20,
  county: "Loudoun",
  voltage: "345kV"
});

// Returns in < 200ms
02

Get Substation Data

We return all matching substations with available MW, current queue depth, estimated timeline, and distance to nearest fiber backbone.

// Grid Capacity Response
{
  "substations": [
    {
      "name": "Ashburn-345kV",
      "available_mw": 47,
      "queue_depth": 3,
      "est_timeline": "18-24 months",
      "fiber_distance_mi": 0.3
    },
    {
      "name": "Sterling-230kV", 
      "available_mw": 32,
      "queue_depth": 7,
      "est_timeline": "24-36 months",
      "fiber_distance_mi": 1.2
    }
  ]
}
03

Deep Dive Queue Intel

For promising sites, query our Queue Intel tier to see exactly who's ahead of you. Company names, MW requests, filing dates, and current status.

// Get interconnection queue for specific substation
const queue = await gridCapacity.queueIntel({
  substation_id: "ashburn-345kv",
  region: "PJM"
});

// See who you're competing against
queue.entries.forEach(entry => {
  console.log(entry.company, entry.mw_request);
});
// "Microsoft", 100MW
// "Amazon Web Services", 75MW  
// "Unknown LLC", 50MW

Customer Stories

Trusted by Power Hunters

From hyperscale data centers to Bitcoin miners, Grid Capacity API helps teams find power faster.

Speed
"We were spending $2M/year on consultants to find available grid capacity. Grid Capacity API gave us better data for $50 per query. Found our Virginia site 3 months faster than our competitors."
JM
James Morrison
VP Site Selection, Hyperscale DC Developer
Queue Intel
"The queue intel is invaluable. We saw Microsoft and Amazon were ahead of us at our target substation. Pivoted to an alternative site with better queue position. Saved us 18 months of waiting."
SC
Sarah Chen
Partner, Infrastructure Private Equity
Scale
"Our mining operation needs 50MW minimum. Before Grid Capacity, we'd spend weeks reading PDF filings. Now our site selection agent queries all of ERCOT in 200ms. We're expanding 3x faster."

Common Questions

Grid Capacity FAQ

Everything you need to know about finding power for your data center or mining operation.

Query our Capacity Scout tier ($50) with your target region (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, or SPP) and minimum MW requirement. We return all substations with available capacity, sorted by your criteria. You can also filter by county, voltage level, and proximity to fiber.

The Interconnection Queue shows everyone ahead of you in line for grid connection at a specific substation. Our Queue Intel tier ($500) parses thousands of PDF filings to show you the company name, MW request, filing date, and current status of every entity in the queue. This tells you if you're competing against Microsoft for the same power.

Every major tech company (Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Amazon) is racing to secure power for AI data centers. Energy traders and infrastructure PE firms pay millions to consultants for this intelligence. The grid is opaque by design—capacity data is buried in thousands of PDF filings. We parse and structure it so you can query programmatically.

We currently cover PJM (East Coast, including Virginia's Data Center Alley), ERCOT (Texas), CAISO (California), MISO (Midwest), and SPP (Central). Each region has different interconnection rules and queue processes that we parse and normalize into a common API schema.

We parse new interconnection filings within 24 hours of public release. Capacity data updates weekly from utility reports. This is significantly faster than manually reading thousands of PDF documents or waiting for quarterly consultant reports.

x402 is a micropayment protocol that lets you pay per API call with cryptocurrency. No subscriptions, no minimums, no invoices. Your agent or script includes a payment proof with each request. If the payment is valid, you get the data. This is how AI agents can autonomously pay for data without human approval.
