Unlock Transmission Capacity Insights. Accelerate Time to Power.

Nira helps data center developers understand region-wide transmission capacity and identify POIs that minimize the time and cost of interconnecting— saving millions of $$ and years of time otherwise sunk into interconnection queues.

The Problem

Transmission Capacity: the most critical resource is also the least visible

Transmission Capacity: the most critical resource is also the least visible

Interconnection is complex and costly if approached with incomplete data. Nira transforms each phase of your development journey to make better decisions from day one.

Identify Potential Sites

Use a generic heatmap tool to identify potential POIs for your 400 MW project.

Tool shows POI with 1 GW available capacity.

Run Scenario Analysis

Pay $100k+ in study deposits to the utility.

Diligence Land

Pay $100K for land agents and consultants to evaluate the land, prepare the lease, and get your applications together.

Nira's software runs ISO-specific models and contingencies.

Receive Utility Results

Utility returns study result to your team. Your project has triggered a 500 kV line upgrade that will take 10 years to complete.

Drop Project

You decide to drop the project due to the decade-long timeline to power.

Developers need a proactive strategy and a way to test it.

Power is scarce and transmission systems are constrained.

Utility large load interconnection queues aren’t public.
