Skip the

queue.

Large-load grid interconnection has become the schedule-defining constraint for data centre development. Behind-the-meter siting converts a queue position into a construction schedule.

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE · PROPOSAL

This describes a proposed reference architecture. It is not a shipping product and no vendor partnership is claimed or implied. Interfaces and standards conformance are specification intent; quantities are design targets.

Design basis
MECHANISM

Load sited behind the meter

The compute hall connects to generation on the customer side of the revenue meter, so it is not a new transmission-connected load requiring a queue position.

STUDY SCOPE

Facility, not transmission

Interconnection studies address transmission impact. A behind-the-meter load changes the facility's net export profile rather than adding a transmission-side load.

ISLANDING

Defined operating modes

Grid-parallel, grid-following, and islanded modes are specified up front with defined transitions, because the utility agreement will require them.

CONSTRAINT

Generation capacity

The binding constraint becomes available generation and thermal capacity rather than queue position. That is a constraint we can engineer against.

Integration notes

Requires a generation host willing to contract firm capacity and an interconnection agreement that contemplates a large behind-the-meter load. Legal and tariff structure vary by jurisdiction and are project-specific.
