Energy Data API | Prospector Labs

The data

Three databases. Every query returns the full enriched row.

Raw project records from 20+ public sources, deduplicated and enriched with tax credit calculations, developer intelligence, investability scores, and compliance flags. No field gating — every tier gets the complete dataset.

Interconnection Queue

47,594 projects across 9 ISOs

Every utility-scale energy project in the US interconnection queue. Aggregated from MISO, PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE, and LBNL. ~120 enriched columns per project.

Project status, capacity (MW), fuel type, technology
Developer name, tier classification, track record
Point of interconnection, county, state, ISO region
Queue position, request date, milestone dates
ITC/PTC eligibility and credit stacking (energy community, low-income, domestic content)
Investability score and independent developer flags
FEOC compliance screening
Energy community designation and census tract

Distributed Generation

5.4 million installations from 16 state programs

Residential and commercial solar, storage, and wind installations across the US. Sourced from state interconnection programs, net metering registries, and incentive databases.

System size (kW), technology type, installer
Installation date, approval date, operational status
Address, city, county, state, zip code
Utility, rate schedule, program type
Cost data (where reported by state programs)
Battery storage and paired system flags

Developer Intelligence

6,593 developer profiles

Every energy project developer operating in US interconnection queues. Built by entity resolution across all ISOs — the same developer appears once, not nine times.

Developer name, normalized aliases, parent company
Tier classification (Tier 1-4 based on portfolio)
Total projects, total capacity (MW), active vs. withdrawn
Completion rate and historical track record
Geographic footprint (states and ISOs)
Technology mix (solar, wind, storage, hybrid)
Capital needs assessment and independent developer flag

Enrichment layers

Raw data in, intelligence out.

Tax Credit Stacking

ITC/PTC base rates plus all IRA adders: energy community, low-income, domestic content. Per-project effective rates from 30-70%.

Investability Scoring

Composite score based on developer track record, project stage, technology, location, and credit eligibility. Flags high-potential ITC deals.

FEOC Compliance

Foreign Entity of Concern screening for equipment manufacturers and supply chain. Required for IRA domestic content and bonus credits.

Reference Data

Grid infrastructure (234K assets from HIFLD/USWTDB), market pricing (LMPs across 6 ISOs), NREL cost projections, FERC financials, and census data.
