Our View

Announced Capacity Is Not Supply

There is a shortage of data center power. Most of the numbers describing it are announcements not facts.

Ask us where 20 MW can be energized inside 18 months. The answer comes from analysis, not press releases.

The Market

Supply is the bottleneck

Vacancy in the primary North American markets is almost zero, and most capacity under construction is leased before it is energized. It is important to know which announced projects energize, and when.

Project Details

From First Filing to First Megawatt

Every project advances through four stages as the filings arrive. Announced and delivered megawatts are tracked separately.

Research Process

Discover. Verify. Deliver

  1. 01

    Discover

    We find and research planning permits, utility dockets, interconnection filings, environmental approvals, property records, and company announcements.

  2. 02

    Verify

    Each project is staged on the filings, not the announcement. Every figure is traced to its source, rated for confidence, and re-verified on a schedule.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Subscribers receive database exports, real-time project alerts, and custom research scoped to markets or requirements.
