The utilities that can answer your power questions confidently are the ones you want to work with.
Data center site selection comes down to power — how much is available, how quickly it can be connected, and what it will cost to serve. Utilities that use LoadSEER's spatial load forecasting and capacity headroom reporting can answer those questions with specificity. If you're evaluating sites where the serving utility is an IA customer, you're working with a utility that has circuit-level visibility into available capacity, planned upgrades, and interconnection timelines.
Get in touchThe questions IA analytics helps you answer
How do I know if a site has available grid capacity?
The answer depends on which feeders and substations serve the site, what their current loading is, and what's already in the interconnection queue for that area. A utility with LoadSEER can answer this at the circuit level.
How long will interconnection take?
Timeline depends on whether infrastructure upgrades are required. A utility that can forecast what your load will require against existing capacity — and identify upgrade scope before the formal interconnection process begins — can give you a realistic timeline.
What will power infrastructure cost?
Infrastructure cost for large loads is driven by what upgrades are needed at the specific substations and feeders that will serve your facility. Circuit-level capacity analysis is required to estimate this before site commitment.
