AI Power & Site Readiness

Composite 0-1 score combining schedule, capacity, cost, carbon, and reliability to rank candidate sites.

Probability (0–1) that the site reaches Commercial Operation Date (COD) by the target date given interconnection, equipment, and permitting risks.

Expected days late relative to the target in‑service date (negative means early).

MW expected to be physically deliverable by the target date, including grid and committed on‑site resources.

All‑in effective energy cost including volumetric energy, demand charge conversion, Demand Response (DR) credits, and on‑site Distributed Energy Resources (DER) savings.

Blended operational carbon intensity after Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)/Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and on‑site Distributed Energy Resources (DER) effects.

0–1 index of outage risk after accounting for grid reliability and on‑site resilience (Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) / temporary generation (temp gen)).

Expected financial impact of schedule slippage (lost revenue, liquidated damages, carrying costs).

Share of consumption covered by contracted renewables and on‑site PV over the evaluation period.

Estimated remaining time in the interconnection queue for the selected path.

0-1 index capturing voltage class, network topology, upgrade scope, and deliverability hurdles.

Utility/ISO‑estimated share of network upgrade CAPEX attributable to the interconnection.

0-1 risk that requested capacity cannot be delivered at peak due to constraints.

Estimated MW of firm capacity available at the point of interconnection by target date.

Quoted lead time for required high‑voltage/medium‑voltage transformers.

Quoted lead time for medium‑voltage switchgear and main protective devices.

0–1 risk score reflecting zoning fit, environmental review, and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) workload.

Blended volumetric energy rate for the applicable tariff/Time‑of‑Use (TOU) class.

Monthly demand charge for the applicable tariff/voltage class (excl. ratchets/standby unless modeled in overlays).

Grid marginal emissions intensity for the site’s balancing area (period‑appropriate blend).

Indicative MW of bankable renewable Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) available in the target geography/term window.

Indicative levelized Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) price for target term/shape (hub/node‑adjusted as applicable).

0-1 risk that delivered/contracted energy is curtailed due to system constraints.

System Average Interruption Duration Index for the serving utility territory.

Whether site control (Letter of Intent (LOI)/option/lease/purchase) is secured, enabling permit submissions.

Budget set aside to accelerate long‑lead equipment procurement.

Whether an expedited transformer procurement option is chosen.

Rental or temporary generation capacity committed to bridge early operations.

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) energy capacity contracted for the site.

Nameplate MW of on‑site Photovoltaic (PV) committed (if feasible given land/roof).

Target share of load to be covered by renewables over the commitment period.

Curtailable/interruptible load (kW) enrolled for demand response or similar programs.
