DCPI Press Kit

The Data Center Power Index (DCPI) is a daily-updated indicator of power availability across U.S. data center markets. Free for the press to cite.

What is DCPI?

Two scores per market: Excess Power Score (0–100, high = opportunity) and Constraint Score (0–100, high = avoid). Excess Power surfaces stranded capacity, curtailed renewables, and behind-the-meter industrial headroom — power that's available but not commonly tracked.

Methodology

Excess Power Score = weighted sum of: ISO reserve margin headroom, queued generation additions <12mo, renewable curtailment volume, queue approval rate, stranded interconnection capacity at retiring plants, and behind-the-meter industrial generation. Constraint Score = queue wait time, reserve margin proximity to NERC floor, demand growth YoY, recent grid emergencies. Inputs ingested daily from ISO public filings, EIA monthly data, and DC Hub's grid-feed extractors.
