What you get
One report on one site, built from public data and read by us before it reaches you. It opens with the answer on one page. Behind every line is the evidence: each fact with its source and date, each estimate with its method and range, and anything unknown shown as unknown with what would settle it.
What the report covers
- Grid access: the nearest transmission by voltage, mapped substations, lines that cross the site and the interconnection queue around it
- Land: the largest flat block after flood zones, wetlands and protected land come out
- Risk: flood, wetlands, protected land, critical habitat and air-quality status, each with its source
- Path to power: the steps between the site and energization, drawn from public documents of the utility, the grid operator, the regulator and the county, each quoted and linked, with the open questions and who can answer them
For a data center site in Texas
On the ERCOT grid the report adds a section on power cost and time to power:
- Power cost: an estimated all-in cost per megawatt-hour for grid power and for onsite options (gas engines, gas turbines, and solar with a battery and gas), each with its range and what it is built from
- Time to power: how long comparable grid connections have taken, what ERCOT's own published dates for its large-load process mean for a request filed now, and how your target date compares
- The trade-off between waiting for the grid and bridging on onsite generation
- The security and study fee the Texas large-load rule asks for before a study
These are scenario-based estimates from public data, not quotes and not forecasts. A utility's tariff, a retailer's offer and an equipment quote replace them.
Where it works
Sites in the contiguous United States. The report is deepest in Texas, where the power cost and time to power section is available for data centers. Elsewhere it covers grid access, land, risk and the path to power, without that section.

Questions people ask
Can I order a report today?
By request, yes: send a request with your site and we will come back to you by email. Online ordering is not open yet.
Which locations does it cover?
Sites in the contiguous United States. The power cost and time to power section is for data center sites in Texas on the ERCOT grid. Elsewhere the report covers grid access, land, risk and the path to power.
Are the power cost figures a quote?
No. They are scenario-based estimates from public data, each with its range and what it is built from. A utility tariff, a retailer offer or an equipment quote replaces them.
How will payment work?
Online ordering is not open yet. When it opens it will be self-serve with card payment, and the price will be shown on this page before you order.
