About AI Loadmap

What we do

AI Loadmap is an information service. It collects facts about announced AI data-center campuses that are already public, such as press releases, regulatory filings, permits, court records, utility announcements, satellite-based observations published by third parties, and news reporting, and arranges them by campus and by date. It then applies simple, published rules to those facts (lead times, deadlines, traffic lights, scores). Those rules are working assumptions, described on the Method page, not industry standards.

The site is operated by AI Loadmap (ailoadmap.com). It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any company, utility, regulator or government named on it.

How the data is made

Each campus has a record of dated steps: site, permits, grid agreement, substation, generation, equipment, construction, first power, water and financing. Every row carries a link to its source, a source tier (primary, secondary, tertiary) and a confidence level. The build applies published lead-time assumptions to those rows to produce the traffic lights, the implied first-power date and the feasibility items. The rules are on the Method page; every change to the data appears on the Updates page, dated.

Where a plan has been announced but no completion reported, we may enter a placeholder date so a campus can be compared with others. Placeholders are marked low confidence and say so in their note. We never silently edit a published row; corrections are new rows.
