Datacenter Rankings
Where does the country stand for datacenter development? These rankings are computed directly from the GridCensus dataset and refresh monthly.
Top States by Datacenter Readiness
States ranked by the average GridCensus DC Readiness score across all catalogued candidate sites — a blended screen of power, speed-to-power, fiber, water, and hazard.
States with the Most Datacenter Candidate Sites
States ranked by the raw count of scored datacenter candidate sites in the GridCensus catalog.
States by Largest Catalogued Candidate Capacity
States ranked by the sum of per-site available-capacity estimates — a theoretical aggregate of candidate megawatts, not deliverable power.
States with the Shortest Interconnection Queue Wait
States ranked by the shortest average interconnection-queue wait across their candidate sites — a key speed-to-power signal.
States by Fastest Speed-to-Power
States ranked by the average speed-to-power sub-score — proximity to existing transmission, substation adjacency, and queue dynamics.
States with the Lowest Water Stress for Cooling
States ranked by the average water sub-score (higher = lower water stress) — a proxy for cooling-water availability across candidate sites.
States with the Most Brownfield Datacenter Sites
States ranked by the number of brownfield candidate sites — previously developed parcels that trade remediation overhead for existing utility hookups and infill locations.
ISO/RTO Regions by Interconnection Queue Depth
Grid operators ranked by the average interconnection-queue depth at their candidate sites — deeper queues signal more contention for new load.
Datacenter Site Types Ranked by Readiness
The nine GridCensus site types ranked by their average DC Readiness score — which categories of land screen best for datacenter development.
