US grid & data-center intelligence

See what's connecting to the grid.
Everywhere. Every day.

All figures on this page are as of 15 August 2026, the date of our last ingest from source. Every figure, by state and county · how we make it.

39,173 applications to connect to the American grid — generation, data centers, and the rules that shape them. Read daily, checked against the source, priced in the open.

Every US grid region

All 7 ISOs plus 49 non-ISO utilities — parsed daily, not annually.

Generation + load together

Supply and demand on one map. Nobody else joins both sides.

30 years, county by county

1,575 counties with queued MW, wait times and outcomes since 1989.

Rules & money layered on

Moratoriums, tariffs, dockets and lobbying — tied to the projects they touch.

Exports that actually work

CSV, API and an MCP server for your AI tools. No PDF jail.

The problem

Most "planned" projects never happen.
Do you know which ones will?

Power decides what gets built — AI campuses, factories, whole neighborhoods. But the information underneath it is broken three ways:

84%

of projects die first

Companies announce gigawatts, then walk away. The same campus applies in three states and gets counted three times.

You need: which megawatts are real
56

places hide the answers

Seven grid operators and fifty utilities, each with their own spreadsheets, formats, and schedules. Nobody reads them all.

You need: one clean daily source
$0

is what a black box is worth

Legacy vendors charge six figures and never show their math. If you can't check a number, you can't defend it in a meeting.

You need: sources and misses, published

The Watt Street datasets

Six datasets that exist nowhere else.

Not repackaged feeds. Built here, from the primary record, every day — each one answers a question worth real money.

Questions

Straight answers

Where does the data come from?

Public records only — connection applications filed with all seven US grid operators and 49 utilities, government dockets, federal lobbying disclosures, and Census geography. We read them daily and reconcile our row counts against each source. Those checks are published on the How-we-make-it page.

Why pay if the filings are public?

The raw filings are public and scattered across 56 sources in formats that fight back. What you buy is the assembled version — the Load Ledger, withdrawn projects, county capacity scores and a sourced deadline calendar — with the date every figure was true printed next to it.

What does "Built by AI. Powered by humans." mean?

AI agents read thousands of filings a day. Humans review everything before it ships, and every number carries its source. Machine scale, human accountability.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Home and Pro are monthly with one-click cancel — you keep every export. Reports are yours forever. Partnerships are annual with a 30-day out in the first quarter.

What if a number is wrong?

We say so publicly. Failed reconciliation halts publication, corrections are logged and dated, and our forecast misses stay on the page next to the hits.
