You don't have to own the site to need the facts.
Headroom checks whether a site's records support a proposed load before money, equipment or new demand is committed. It's built for the people who rely on a power commitment, not only the people who make one.
Who uses Headroom
| Who | The question they need answered |
|---|---|
| Compute and powered-site developers | Do the site's records support the load we plan to place or promise, and which assumption fails first? |
| Investors and lenders | Do the records support the load behind this deal, or does it rest on an unsupported promise? |
| Charging, fleet and site operators | Can new demand run alongside existing duties and protected reserves? |
| Equipment suppliers and contractors | Is there a documented shortfall, and does the proposed equipment close it on paper? |
| Utilities, cooperatives and municipalities | What does the customer's supplied evidence show about the new load and the obligations it must not displace? |
| Insurers and risk advisers | Which backup, fuel, reserve and record gaps warrant further review? |
Where the question comes up
- A developer is about to promise capacity to a new compute tenant on a site backed by grid, battery and diesel.
- A lender is asked to finance a site whose plan depends on an already-running gas engine.
- A fleet depot wants more charging without cutting into the battery reserve its vehicles depend on.
- An equipment supplier's upgrade proposal rests on a claimed shortfall.
- Added compute brings new heat load, and the cooling plant has to carry it.
- An investor needs to separate documented capacity from a confident slide.
What the finding tells you
What is supported. What limits the proposal. What is missing. What needs to happen next.
Each finding ties to the supplied records, the proposed load and the period reviewed. When a decision needs utility studies, engineering verification or more records, the finding says so. Headroom does not provide external engineering approval.
Who pays doesn't change the answer.
When records are stale, missing or in conflict, Headroom counts less capacity, not more. The same rule applies whether the assessment is commissioned by the operator, the lender, the supplier or the buyer. A supplier gets the finding the records support, even when that finding shows no shortfall.
Checking a site you don't control
You can commission an assessment of another party's site. The site's owner or operator authorizes the records and their use before anything is shared.
One decision today. A clearer record over time.
A single assessment supports an immediate decision. Repeat assessments show how the finding changes as demand, equipment and commitments change: a baseline, changed-input scenarios, and reassessment as a project develops. You decide who receives each report.
What power commitment needs checking?
Tell us the site, the decision and the records available. No sensitive records are needed for the initial inquiry.
Read-only and export-based. A finding tests a supplied proposal over a stated period. No maximum-MW, safe shorter duration, repeat-cycle, firm-capacity or revenue guarantee is implied. Our capacity examples use synthetic inputs. Customer validation and external engineering review remain outstanding. Methods and verification
