Built by AI.
Powered by humans.
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.
Ten AI departments read the American grid around the clock. People approve everything that ships. Every number traces to a public record — and our misses stay published next to our hits.
Fetch
56 sources pulled on schedule — ISO queues, utility filings, dockets, disclosures.
Parse
Split headers, merged cells, PDFs, JSON — every format normalized to one schema.
Reconcile
Row counts checked against the source. Unexplained drops fail the run.
Join
Projects linked to counties, people, rules, and money through our entity graph.
Human review
A person approves every report, score, and guide before publication.
Ten agents. One newsroom.
Each department runs on its own schedule, writes to a shared record, and escalates to a human when something matters.
No agent sends an email, publishes a page, or moves money. Drafts queue for a person — always.
Scores are timestamped and never edited. Source files are archived the day we fetch them.
When we're wrong, the correction is dated and stays visible. That's the whole business.
Our receipts, on the record
These are the counts recorded by that ingest run, not a live feed. It said "live" and was not; the figures were always real, the label was not.

Everything we got wrong, dated
When we're wrong, the correction is dated and stays visible. We keep two lists, because they are not the same thing: errors that reached you, and errors our own checks caught before publication. Publishing only the second kind would be its own form of dishonesty.
| Date | Correction |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-17 | Source count We said we read 57 primary sources. Seven ISO/RTO queues plus 49 non-ISO utilities is 56. The wrong figure appeared on the homepage, on this page, and in llms.txt — the file written so answer engines can quote us accurately. |
| 2026-08-17 | Load Ledger labelling We labelled 488 map marks and 545 queue rows as data-center power requests. In fact 494 of the 545 rows carry no end-use classification at all; 40 are tagged as data centers and 36 of those are geocoded. We were asserting an end use for roughly 450 requests we had never classified. They are now described as large-load power requests, with the confirmed data-centre count shown separately. |
| 2026-08-17 | Coverage start date We said our records run since 1997, including in the machine-readable Dataset markup. The earliest interconnection request in our data is 1989-09-15. Corrected to 1989. |
| 2026-08-17 | AI campus countllms.txt reported 72 AI data-centre campuses while the map showed 44. Both were true of different things: 72 campuses are identified, 44 of them are geocoded and appear on the map. We now say which is which. |
| 2026-08-17 | API example hostname The copy-paste example on our developer page pointed at a hostname that carried another company's product name, and at a raw worker origin rather than api.wattstreet.net. Both corrected. |
| Date | Near miss |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-17 | ERCOT audit scope A draft collapsed three different figures into one. 474 GW is the full ERCOT interconnection queue; ~200 GW is the audited Batch Zero cohort; 49.8 GW is BloombergNEF's estimate of delayed data-centre load. Three numbers, three denominators. |
| 2026-08-17 | ERCOT filing date ERCOT's good-cause exception was filed 2026-08-11, not 08-10. August 10 was a Sunday. |
| 2026-08-17 | Oklahoma HB 2992 Enacted 2026-05-11, effective 2026-07-01. The 2026-08-06 date reported in several outlets is a ceremonial signing three months after enactment. |
| 2026-08-17 | New Mexico Recorded as a statewide moratorium bill. It is an announced intent to introduce legislation in the 2027 session. No bill number exists. |
| 2026-08-17 | CAISO abeyance motion Recorded as stated intent only. Confirmed filed 2026-08-03 on CAISO's own FERC filings register. |
| 2026-08-17 | Fort Worth, Texas Recorded as an adopted moratorium. The council initiated the statutory process; earliest possible effect is 2027-02-16. Counting it as adopted is wrong by one and by six months. |
| 2026-08-16 | Fermi — Matador site Filed in our draft under ERCOT. The site is in SPP territory. |
Nothing is removed from this page. If a correction is later itself corrected, both entries stay.
What's connected — and what's connecting next
We publish the roadmap because buyers deserve to know the edges of the map.
Humans on the line
Every report is read by a person before it reaches you. Every support email is answered by one. When we get something wrong, a human writes the correction and signs it.
