The Data Center Power Index

Real-time power availability across 25 U.S. data center markets. Two scores per market: Excess Power (where buyers don't know to look) and Constraint (where the queue is dead). The contrarian metric the incumbents won't publish.

When the grid queue runs 5–7 years, behind-the-meter natural gas is how AI capacity actually gets energized. DCGI scores every US state on gas-to-power siting.

📋 Methodology

Constraint Score combines queue wait time, reserve margin proximity to NERC floor, demand-growth YoY, and 30-day grid-emergency frequency. Excess Power Score is the contrarian metric: reserve-margin headroom, generation additions queued <12mo, renewable curtailment volume, queue approval rate, stranded interconnection at retiring plants, and behind-the-meter industrial generation. Updated daily from ISO public filings + DC Hub's grid extractors.
