GridVision AI guide

Data Center Power Availability Due Diligence

Power availability is a development decision with evidence, dependencies, and competing paths. Start with the grid record before a site is treated as power-ready.

Questions to answer before advancing a site

  1. 01What load, ramp, and energization date is the decision actually screening?
  2. 02Which utility, transmission owner, ISO/RTO, and point of interconnection evidence is authorized and current?
  3. 03Is the stated capacity a verified determination, a planning input, or an internal assumption?
  4. 04What network upgrades, site-control, permitting, routing, or schedule dependencies remain open?
  5. 05Which alternative site or interconnection path is being compared, and on what common basis?
  6. 06What missing evidence would change the decision to advance, review, or deprioritize the site?

Keep planning evidence separate from confirmation

A public queue position, a preliminary utility conversation, an internal load forecast, and a completed study are different evidence classes. A defensible comparison keeps their source, version, date, assumptions, and limitations visible.

GridVision AI helps development teams organize authorized site, utility, interconnection, schedule, and commercial evidence into a management-ready Decision Record. It supports review; it does not replace utility or engineering authority.

Use the checklist as a starting point for a bounded evidence review.
