What is a large load interconnection request?

A request by a large electricity customer, such as a data center, semiconductor fab or hydrogen plant, to connect new demand to the transmission grid, usually 20 MW or more.

Which grids does the Large Load Monitor cover?

PJM, ERCOT and NYISO today, covering 1,100+ requests and 260+ GW, with MISO, ISO-NE, CAISO and SPP planned.

How is energization probability estimated?

An interpretable model scores each request on study stage, substation headroom, site control and regulatory signals, then weights MW by probability and expected timing.

Large Load & Data Center Interconnection Monitor

Track 1,100+ large-load interconnection requests (260+ GW) across PJM, ERCOT and NYISO: data center interconnection queue status, energization probability and load forecasts to 2035.

What AIxEnergy Large Load Monitor Does

The AIxEnergy Large Load Monitor is an institutional power-grid intelligence platform that reconciles raw ISO/RTO interconnection queues, utility transmission filings, and state regulatory dockets into decision-grade analytics:

De-Duplicated Multi-ISO Queue Registry: Tracks 1,100+ large-load applications (AI data centers, semiconductor fabs, hydrogen plants, industrial electrification) totaling 260+ GW across NYISO, PJM, and ERCOT.
Interpretable Energization-Probability Model: Scores every request on energization likelihood P(eventual), 24-month and 60-month lead-time distributions, and load-class capacity realization haircuts.
Substation & Corridor Headroom Screening: Audits 300+ bulk transmission substations (115 kV to 765 kV) and critical transfer cutsets for transformer headroom and competing queue seniority.
Long-Term Demand Forecasts to 2035: Produces annual probability- and timing-weighted MW demand projections by ISO, zone, utility territory, and substation.

Who AIxEnergy Monitor Is Built For

Hyperscalers & AI Data Center Developers: Identify viable 100 MW to 1 GW+ points of interconnection (POIs), benchmark competing queue seniority, and compress time-to-power via FlexLoad siting.
Electric Utilities & ISO/RTO Transmission Planners: Separate speculative paper queues from funded, high-probability load additions across service territories and transmission zones.
Infrastructure Investors, Private Credit Lenders & Advisors: Conduct independent technical due diligence on project energization timelines, utility study milestones, and curtailment exposure.
Power Equipment OEMs, EPCs & Energy Regulators: Forecast autotransformer, switchgear, and 345 kV / 500 kV substation upgrade demand and monitor PSC/FERC large-load tariff proceedings.
