DE-RISK YOUR PORTFOLIO BY FINDING RELIABLE GRID HEADROOM CAPACITY.
PinPoint Grid is an interactive transmission intelligence platform that streamlines the site selection process for developers and leadership teams. PinPoint Grid equips you with detailed, actionable, and accurate insights to identify and evaluate interconnection opportunities in days, not months.
PINPOINT GRID FEATURES & CAPABILITIES
- Interactive Intelligence: View over thousands of transmission substations across major U.S. markets (including MISO, SPP, ERCOT, and WECC) on a single, dynamic map.
- Generation Queue Analytics: Analyze interconnection queue activity by RTO/ISO, including project MW, fuel type, status, queue cycle, and withdrawal rates. Identify trends across cycles and view key metrics such as top states by MW, withdrawal rates and MW by fuel type.
- Dedicated Map Layers: Access regularly updated map layers including electric substations, 100 kV+ transmission lines, data center locations, gas pipelines, fiber networks, counties and reservation boundaries.
- Rapid Custom Scenarios: Select a desired substation, define your load or generation scenario, and submit the request directly through PinPoint Grid. Receive a custom study report with updated simulation results and maps in approximately three business days.
- Smart Filtering: Instantly sort sites available MW headroom, voltage level, state, ISO or specific utility providers to find exactlywhat your projects needs.
- Market Price Intelligence: View updated ICE peak-power hub benchmarks, including volume-weighted average prices, highs and lows, volatility, and traded volume, with electric substations mapped to the nearest eligible trading hub.
- Future-Proof Planning: Compare capacity scenarios across multi-year planning horizons (i.e., 2027 vs. 2030) to align with your build schedules.
Move projects forward with confidence
To enable rapid, side-by-side comparison of multiple Points of Interconnection (POIs), every substation receives an objective 0-100 Site Score based on the criteria you set.
Instead of showing you raw, overwhelming grid data, Site Score
automatically balances two critical factors:
MW Headroom: How well the substation’s available capacity
matches your large load and generator injection requirements.
Development Constraints: Regulatory, environmental, and land-use hurdles that can inflate timelines and costs.
A score of 85+ indicates a prime location with an ideal capacity match and minimal development friction.
Your competive edge in site selection
- Accelerate Timelines: Screen thousands of substations
in moments instead of months. - Accuracy: Our capacity studies utilize ISO-aligned
methodology and advanced dispatch logic, achieving over
95% accuracy when benchmarked against completed
utility studies. - Reduce Project Risk: Uncover regulatory constraints,
blind spots, and capacity limitations before investing in
land control.
- Optimize Budgets: Direct your expensive engineering
and due diligence resources strictly toward viable, highprobability targets. - Continuous Updates: Site information is frequently
updated with the latest data to help users stay on top of
key interconnection information.
