Prepare for your next utility conversation.

Each brief turns a utility’s published data into specific questions for each site on your list, with each figure’s source and the date the utility gives for it. For developers, brokers, consultants and investors evaluating sites.

An example from ten industrial sites

The example brief covers ten public industrial listings in New York and Connecticut. Each row shows the nearest published substation data, the date the utility gives for it, and the question to put to the utility. One site, at the Port of Albany, goes further, with dated readings for its four nearest substation banks.

What you’ll receive

A brief covers one site: the latest published figures and how old each is; earlier readings where the utility’s files or our records contain them; what each figure measures, with units as published and a note where figures are not comparable across utilities; how each record relates to the site and the basis for that relationship; and gaps written as specific questions for the utility. Source links are included. Scope is agreed by email.

Working with the available information

Coverage varies by utility and currently includes parts of California, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. Every figure keeps the date its source file gives; where there is none, the brief says so. Utility confirmation is needed for serving equipment, connection route and project requirements. See data quality and corrections.

Grid information tools

Site search finds published records around a location. Batch screening accepts a list of sites.

The API returns capacity at feeder and substation level as JSON, with the source classification on every record.

Demand scenarios compares added peak demand with published figures where they are comparable, as an arithmetic reading without assessing a connection.

Demos are available on request.
