Power Readiness Index

Can the load be delivered here, on time, and at scale? A preview of regional readiness signals for large-load growth: queue exposure, time-to-power risk, and infrastructure constraints across grid regions.

Definitions

PRI
Power Readiness Index (0–100). Composite of queue-to-energization conversion, transmission upgrade backlog, transformer & substation lead-time exposure, and large-load concentration.
Δ 30d
Change in PRI over the trailing 30 days.
Time-to-power
Median months from interconnection approval to energized load. The clock starts at approval and excludes time spent in the interconnection queue before approval. The multi-year queue waits reported by LBNL sit upstream of this metric.
Active queue
Capacity approved or pending, awaiting energization (GW). Not additive across rows: region totals and focus sub-zones are shown together, and a sub-zone's queue is a subset of its parent region's.

Readiness bands

Ready: PRI ≥ 65
Constrained: 50–64
Critical: below 50
