The data center pipeline intelligence platform for the contractors, vendors, and capital allocators building Western Canada. AESO load queue, BC Hydro CFD, SaskPower commitments, municipal permits, land titles — all scored, sourced, and explained.
AESO opened a 1,200 MW interim allocation to absorb the data center surge. By July 2025 it was gone — consumed by two megaprojects whose contractor and vendor stacks aren't in any public registry. That's the gap BLACKSTART closes.
By late July 2025, AESO's 1,200 MW interim limit for large-load projects was fully allocated. The remaining 16+ GW of pending data center demand goes to Phase 2 — a framework still being built. Vendors who win contracts at the Phase 1 sites lock up the entire 2027-2028 buildout cycle.
The "Buildable Now" view filters out operating facilities and announcements without a credible path to construction. What's left is the actual sales pipeline for HV electrical, switchgear, mechanical, fiber, and security vendors.
No black-box ranking. Seven weighted components, with rubrics, cited evidence, a confidence cap, and a hard penalty when the proponent is undisclosed. Open the workings on every project page.
A subscriber sees this on every project page — full stakeholder map, AESO interconnection status, municipal filings, land titles, capex history, and the score breakdown with sourced evidence.
Joint venture between Pembina Pipeline Corporation and Kineticor Holdings (an OPTrust portfolio company), with Beacon Data Centers as data center development partner and a named Meta as the hyperscaler customer. Sited in Alberta's Industrial Heartland on land already zoned for heavy industrial use, near transmission, carbon sequestration, and fiber.
AESO allocated 907 MW to Greenlight in mid-2025 — by far the largest single Phase 1 allocation. The power generation facility is in Stage 3 of the AESO interconnection process and is targeting grid interconnection in early 2027.
All tiers see every project. Higher tiers unlock stakeholder contact mapping, council-minute extraction, ownership-chain lookup, custom alerts, and API access.
