Tools it exposes

Data-centre market overview

data_centre_market_overview

Dated overview of a European data-centre market: how many data-centre projects of 1 MW or more our pipeline tracker lists and how many are permitted or being built, the stated MW by stage on each capacity basis, who develops the most of them, whether new grid connections are paused, rationed or conditional in that country, the grid carbon intensity and power price this hour, and how many data-centre rules apply.

Grid connection status

grid_connection_status

Where in Europe new grid connections for data centres are paused, rationed, conditional or congested, by country, with the measure's name, what it applies to and when it started.

Data-centre rules

data_centre_rules

The national and EU rules for building and running a data centre in one European country (energy efficiency reporting, waste heat, permitting, grid), each with its status, who it applies to and the next date that matters, plus upcoming deadlines.

Grid carbon and price now

grid_carbon_and_price_now

This hour's grid carbon intensity (gCO2/kWh), renewable share and day-ahead power price for a European market, the cleanest window in the next hours and its rank among 15 markets.

Questions

Where do the answers come from?

From the same data the DC Blueprint pages show: the data-centre pipeline tracker, the grid connection tracker, the rules by country and the live grid, plus the business-case figures of a project for keyed calls. Each answer is dated and ends with the DC Blueprint page it comes from, which names its sources.

How fresh is the data?

Every answer carries the date its figures were last checked (now 30 October 2026), and the assistant is asked to quote it. The connector reads the trackers as they are published on the site, and the grid answer reads the same hourly snapshot as the Live grid page.

What needs a key, and what does Premium add?

The reference tools need no key and no account. business_case_figures needs a personal key from an account with a licence or a 7-day trial: it returns our figures for one market with their low and high, for 5 credits (one figure: 1). The licence includes 500 credits a month per user, shared across the account, and the trial 50 credits for 3 markets. The same answer again in the calendar month costs nothing, and credits start again on the first of each month (UTC).

What does the connector log?

For every call we count the day, the tool and the name the assistant gives for itself, with no address, key, account or question, and keep the counts for 400 days. With a key we keep its prefix and a hash of the secret, never the key itself, and the credits your account used. The privacy notice has the details.Privacy notice.

What are the rate limits?

Without a key, 40 calls a minute and 1,500 a day per network. With a key, 60 calls a minute on a licence or trial and 20 on an account without one, counted per account. One request takes at most 10 messages, and an account can make 5 keys in 24 hours.

Can my assistant download the data?

No. The connector is read-only and returns the counts, statuses and figures the pages show, one market or country at a time, for the question at hand. A subscription does not include copying the benchmark catalogue market by market; bulk or database access is a separate licence, on request. It never returns project rows, files or exports.
