About Power Investor
Power Investor is a data-center site-intelligence platform for the institutional infrastructure market. This page explains who it’s for, what it does, and how it differs from the generic research and brokerage tools that exist today.
Who this is for
- Brokerage teams at CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield and peers originating powered-land portfolios for hyperscaler and large-industrial tenants.
- Infrastructure PMs at Brookfield, Blackstone, KKR and similar platforms evaluating data-center assets as yield-generating infrastructure.
- Energy consultants (Burns & McDonnell tier) advising on interconnection strategy, substation build-out, and tariff structures.
What Power Investor does
Compresses weeks of manual data-center site due diligence—interconnection queue analysis, zoning risk, grid headroom, tariff structures, community context—into hours. Aggregates 60+ sources (FERC, EIA, seven ISOs, 88 utility tariffs, EPA Environmental Justice, satellite imagery, local-government records) into a single screening layer.
The platform’s zoning-approval prediction model (AUC = 0.935 on held-out outcomes) is, to our knowledge, the only national DC-specific zoning outcomes database. It tells you not just where you could build, but where you will actually be allowed to operate.
Our approach
Two principles:
- Data-first. Every claim on the platform traces to public filings, regulatory records, or grid data. No pipeline bravado, no unsourced forecasts.
- Community-aware. Projects succeed where they fit local context. Grid-capacity analysis is integrated with zoning risk and community sentiment so decisions are both technically sound and politically viable.
Founder
Built by a power-infrastructure analyst with 15+ years in energy markets (JLL, Black & Veatch). The platform combines domain expertise (tariff structures, ISO queue mechanics, zoning patterns) with modern data infrastructure (satellite imagery analysis, ML-based queue-timeline prediction). Independent venture; JLL and B&V have no claim to the IP.
What you won’t find here
- No hockey-stick growth claims.
- No unvalidated model outputs dressed as findings.
- No generic B2B market-size language.
- No pipeline bravado from a founder with a day job.
Only the capabilities that are production-ready today, and the research that stands on public data you can verify yourself.
