For electric cooperatives & municipal utilities

Know which data‑center requests are real.

GridIntake is intake and triage for large-load interconnection requests — a scored queue instead of an inbox. Every submission is scored for seriousness on arrival, and flagged when the same developer is shopping the same site to your neighbors.

GridIntake interconnection queue: six requests ranked by seriousness score, with deposit status, site control, and cross-utility duplicate matches

The intake queue — seriousness scores, deposit posture, and cross-utility duplicate matches. Shown with demo data.

Seriousness scoring

Every request is scored on submission — deposit posture, site control, entity age, load ramp — so a speculative 520 MW letter of intent doesn't sit ahead of a real 8 MW load with an executed lease.

Cross-utility duplicate detection

Developers shop the same parcels to every utility in the region. GridIntake fingerprints each submission and flags when the same entity or site shows up in a neighbor's queue.

Association roll-up

Statewide associations see aggregate load across member utilities; each member decides how much oversight to grant. Duplicate signals get stronger with every utility on the network.

Founder & full-stack engineer

I've spent 4+ years building software for scale, including a stretch at Meta, where “handle the volume” is the whole job. Since then I've founded two startups and shipped every layer of them myself — schema to interconnection queue. I hold a BS in Computer Science from the University of Central Florida.

Co-ops and munis are fielding more speculative large-load requests than ever, with planning teams of one or two people and no tooling built for the problem. GridIntake gives them the same triage discipline the big IOUs are building in-house — and because I build it, run it, and answer the phone myself, the product moves at the speed of your feedback. If that sounds like your queue, I'd like to show you the product on your own data.
