In a strategic move to simplify and speed up grid connectivity, Grid8, a pioneer in AI-driven interconnection solutions, has officially launched its Interconnection Dashboard a free, web-based tool Built to help clean energy developers and data center operators succeed..

With growing demand for efficient access to the U.S. power grid, this new dashboard offers unprecedented real-time visibility into interconnection queue requests across major Independent System Operators (ISOs) and utility networks nationwide. As a result, users can more effectively identify where new projects are being proposed, monitor the status of grid connection approvals, and plan their development strategies accordingly.

To make this process even more seamless, Grid8 has consolidated data from a wide spectrum of ISOs and utilities, updating it on a weekly basis. The information is presented through intuitive, interactive visualizations that transform complex datasets into actionable insights.

Key Features That Stand Out:

  • Queue Analytics by Geography and Technology: Users can drill down into interconnection activity by county, power market, and generation type, allowing them to spot project clusters and evaluate potential congestion risks.
  • Capacity Trends Over Time: The dashboard enables developers to track historical interconnection capacity requests across states, helping them uncover backlog trends and emerging hotspots.
  • Detailed Project-Level Insights: Stakeholders gain access to granular data on each queued project including technology type (solar, wind, storage), project status, developer name, location, and estimated completion timelines.
  • Transparent Methodology: Grid8 processes and validates incoming data weekly, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and reliability. The result is a transparent, ready-to-use resource that eliminates the noise typically associated with ISO datasets.

Commenting on the launch, Manas Pathak, CEO of Grid8, emphasized the importance of solving grid access delays. “Interconnection delays are a major roadblock standing in the way of U.S. clean energy progress. energy development and data center expansion,” he explained. “By offering this dashboard for free, we’re giving developers the tools they need to secure faster and more affordable access to the grid while avoiding unexpected delays or costs.”

As the clean energy transition accelerates and digital infrastructure expands, Grid8’s Interconnection Dashboard arrives at a pivotal time bridging the gap between development ambition and grid reality.
