Power Analytics
Demo dataThe infrastructure delivering power to the Information Age.
Load, interconnection, transmission capacity, grid buildout, and flexibility.
Power Delivery Gap
Actual load, forecast demand, and the grid capacity available to serve it

- GW, seven U.S. markets combined
Deliverable capacity is what transmission, substations, and interconnection can physically serve, not generation capacity. Forecast demand includes large loads now waiting in the queue.

Headroom is room on the wires before the modelled deliverability limit, not unused generation.
Grid Buildout Velocity
How quickly the physical network is expanding
17.8 GW added / year +14.8% vs 2025 2026
Transmission transfer capacity added each year: the most direct measure of network expansion.
Flexible Capacity

A scenario model, not an engineering forecast: the share of flexible load that unlocks capacity rises with diminishing returns as more constrained hours are covered.
