About US Energy Map
One map for the buildout that's redrawing the American grid.
The United States is in the middle of two simultaneous infrastructure booms. Data centers — driven by cloud computing and the AI race — are pushing electricity demand to levels utilities haven't planned for in decades. At the same time, grid-scale battery storage is being deployed at record pace to absorb renewables and firm up the grid.
These two stories are usually told separately, in scattered press releases, regulatory filings, and paywalled industry reports. US Energy Map puts them on a single canvas so you can see the whole picture: where capacity is going online, what's still in the pipeline, and how the two technologies cluster across regions and power markets.
Who it's for
- Industry insiders tracking competitive activity and regional concentration.
- Investors and analysts sizing the buildout and watching the pipeline.
- Reporters and researchers who need a fast, sourced visual answer to "where is this happening?"
- The curious public trying to understand what's being built near them.
Principles
- Free and unobstructed. The map is public and never gated behind a paywall.
- Sourced, not scraped-and-forgotten. Every project links to a primary public source.
- Honest about limits. We're explicit about what the data does and doesn't cover — see the methodology.
- Open. The full dataset and its change history live on GitHub.
What's next
The roadmap includes operator portfolio views, a capacity-online-over-time chart, deeper data center coverage, and — eventually — expansion beyond the U.S. to the rest of North America. The core promise stays the same: a fast, free, honest map of the buildout.
