A daily grid-intelligence platform tracking generation projects, data-center power requests, utility rules, and connection outcomes across the United States.

Why it surfaced

Watt Street says it tracks 39,173 applications across all seven grid regions and 49 non-ISO utilities, joining generation supply and large-load demand on one map. It also offers source-checked data through a free map, CSV, API, and MCP server—an unusually concrete answer to the question of what is actually trying to connect to the grid.

August 18’s newborn domains include an obsolete pen plotter clocking in at 09:30, emergency warnings designed for sight, touch, or hearing, a funeral-folder tool calibrated for printer drift, and photographs of Colombian rental signs turned into a housing map.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-18 Domain Arrivals issue.
