A searchable index and a live map of stranded megawatts — every warehouse, mill, and dead mall that already holds energized service, scored for edge data centers and container battery storage. The fastest MW is the one already on the grid.
Global data-center demand is tracking to 219 gigawatts by 2030. PJM's interconnection queue has stretched from under two years to over eight. ERCOT large-load requests crossed 230 GW in 2025.
Hyperscale-class greenfield builds now exceed $20M per megawatt and still wait 5 years for power. The fastest megawatt is the one already energized — sitting inside a vacant warehouse, a closed mall, a wound-down steel mill.
Refinery Atlas surfaces that inventory by region, by MW, by slab area. Public methodology. Sourced data. 40 countries and counting.
Toggle individually, filter by voltage class, narrow by viewport. Stranded-asset and score-tiered markers are the product. Everything else is the context that makes them legible.
Weighted-sum multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) over eight categories. Every input declares its normalization rule, its source, and its as-of date. The composite is ∑(weight × score).
Tier mapping: S 90+, A 80–89, B 65–79, C 50–64, D below 50. Confidence under 0.6 marks the tier with a ?.
Hyperscalers can't land. The interconnection queue is a 5-year wait. The fastest MW is the MW that's already energized.
GPU clusters don't need 400 MW campuses. They need 5 MW pods near IXPs that can come online in 9 months.
Greenfield BESS waits for interconnect. A slabbed parking lot waits for a truck.
LPs want to know what they're funding without waiting for the next investor letter.
LandGate, Enverus, JLL Data Center Solutions — incumbents are excellent and we cite their numbers. We open the data and the math.
Where a source carries an attribution requirement we preserve it. Where a source is cited but not ingested we say so. The full list lives at /attribution.
The public map is free. The deal flow — sourcing, underwriting, and stablecoin financing — is private to Refinery's origination team and capital partners.
