LOADSTAR

For experts and consultants

Built to be checked, line by line

If you testify or file for consumer advocates, commissions or intervenors on large-load and interconnection costs, you need a number you can explain line by line. Here is what stands behind this one.

What you can show

The rule
For each operator, the exact status we count as signed, in the operator’s own words.Read the rule per operator →
The inputs
The full queue table we read from each operator every day, kept unaltered with a SHA-256 fingerprint. The archive comes with a data license where the operator’s terms permit redistribution; we confirm this operator by operator before a license is signed.
The history
Every change of method, dated, with its effect on the number. When we were wrong, the correction says so and says by how much.See every correction →
The limits
Generation queues only. A floor, not a forecast. Shares are not comparable across operators, because each one publishes status its own way. We state these up front, so no one has to find them for you.
Large load
Where a utility reports its own large-load pipeline, we archive each report and read it twice. Georgia Power, quarterly since 2024: pipeline, commitments and projects that have broken ground, with the page each figure comes from.Georgia: announced, committed, under construction →

What we won’t do

Take a side in any proceeding, give anyone early access to a change or adjust a number for a client.
