An example from Smith Boulevard
The example brief looks at Smith Boulevard at the Port of Albany, using National Grid’s published electrification headroom and source dates to prepare questions about the site. It also includes Goshen, Neelytown and Seaview / Bunnell Block, showing how the questions change with the available evidence.
For Neelytown, the saved address match says Montgomery; the property listing says Hamptonburgh. For Seaview / Bunnell Block, the serving utility is unconfirmed. No utility has reviewed this brief.
What you’ll receive
A site brief brings the published observations together with their units, definitions and source dates, and explains what they can establish. It turns gaps in the evidence into specific questions for the utility, with source links so you can refer back to the material.
Scope is agreed by email. The brief includes its preparation date and contact details so you can follow up as the inquiry develops.
Working with the available information
Coverage and the meaning of a capacity figure vary by utility. Some sources go months without an update. A snapshot date is not the source date; some sources provide only a run date, so the age of the underlying information may be unknown.
Utility confirmation is needed for serving equipment, connection route and project requirements. Costs and timing remain open. The data quality and corrections page explains the limits of individual sources.

Tools
The site search lets you look up 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 additional peak demand with published indicators. This is an arithmetic comparison, not a connection assessment. Comparisons require an available native load-serving headroom figure in MW; NYSEG/RGE substation comparisons are withheld. Other figures are reference-only or withheld, with no demand subtraction.
