Question 1

What is the Databee Grid Capacity API?

Accepted Answer

Databee provides real-time electrical grid capacity data via API, enabling data center developers, infrastructure investors, and Bitcoin miners to find substations with available MW capacity and track interconnection queue positions across PJM, ERCOT, MISO, CAISO, NYISO, and ISO-NE regions.

Question 2

How much does the Grid Capacity API cost?

Accepted Answer

Databee offers two tiers: Capacity Scout at $50 per query for substation availability data (e.g., which substations in PJM have >20MW capacity), and Queue Intel at $500 per query for detailed interconnection queue analysis showing who is ahead of you in line for specific counties or regions.

Question 3

Which grid regions does Databee cover?

Accepted Answer

Databee covers all major North American grid operators: PJM (Virginia Data Center Alley, Pennsylvania, Ohio), ERCOT (Texas), CAISO (California), MISO (Midwest), NYISO (New York), and ISO-NE (New England). Coverage includes over 2,400 substations and 15,000+ interconnection queue filings.

Question 4

How does x402 micropayment work?

Accepted Answer

x402 is a payment protocol that enables instant, per-query billing without subscriptions or commitments. You pay only for the data you need - $50 for capacity queries or $500 for queue intelligence - with payment processed automatically via the API.

Question 5

Why is grid capacity data valuable for AI infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

The AI economy is bottlenecked by electricity. Every major tech company (Microsoft, Google, OpenAI) is hunting for power to run data centers. Grid capacity data reveals where spare capacity exists - information that is typically buried in thousands of PDF interconnection queue filings. Energy traders pay millions for this data; Databee makes it accessible via API.
