IN STEALTH / POWERED SITE OPPORTUNITIES
Powered sites
for AI infrastructure.
LightningDC is exploring how existing energy assets and powered properties could support AI infrastructure. We are building a deployment platform that starts with usable electricity, then works through the practical requirements of bringing compute online. A site deserves a closer look when its power, physical conditions, and commercial terms can fit a real workload.
01 / ELECTRICITY
How much power is usable?
Describe the existing connection and the load already using it. Distinguish equipment ratings, contracted service, and capacity that may be available for new demand. Include the voltage, known upgrade requirements, and the basis for any estimate.
For a generation site, describe both generation and import arrangements. The key question is which rights and operating conditions would allow electricity to serve compute.
02 / THE PROPERTY
Can infrastructure fit?
Identify the area available for equipment, its access route, and who controls the property. Note existing buildings, grading needs, drainage, environmental constraints, and nearby uses that could affect development.
Also describe what is known about fiber, cooling options, water where relevant, noise limits, and maintenance access. Physical readiness includes the space around the module and the services that connect to it.
03 / PERMISSION
What still needs approval?
List the utility, landowner, permitting authority, and other parties whose approval may be needed. Share the status of relevant agreements, land-use permissions, and any restrictions on adding a new load.
Describe commercial expectations, including the proposed site arrangement and power terms. Site control, permission to consume electricity, and a workable agreement all belong in the same feasibility review.
What should a site owner submit?
The first inquiry can be brief. Start with the information you have and make uncertainties explicit:
- Site type and region: Renewable generation, industrial property, charging infrastructure, or another powered location.
- Potential capacity: Estimated megawatts, current usage, and the source of the estimate.
- Power conditions: Service or generation arrangements, interruptions, notice, and seasonal limits.
- Physical readiness: Available area, access, connectivity, and known constraints.
- Timing and control: When the site could be available, your relationship to it, and remaining approvals.
Use the notes field for context that does not fit a dropdown. Detailed drawings and sensitive agreements can wait until the appropriate review process is established.
Practical questions
Does a large transformer mean the site is ready?
A transformer rating alone does not establish readiness. Our qualification approach also asks about existing demand, service rights, upstream constraints, required approvals, and the operating profile a new load could receive.
Can a site with interruptions be considered?
Describe the interruptions rather than reducing them to one availability percentage. Frequency, duration, notice, and recovery conditions help determine whether a workload and an operating plan could fit.
Do I need a finished development package?
No. An initial inquiry can identify what is known and what needs investigation. LightningDC is in stealth and exploring fit; submitting a site is not a commitment to develop it.
