For one submitted property, a cited site memo brings the local approval record beside the public utility, water, and land-use evidence. It names the decisive finding and the capacity or service question the utility still needs to answer.
We confirm the delivery window when we accept your completed property submission. Complex or thin-record sites may require more research. Existing jurisdiction records give the research a starting point; the submitted site still needs its own current sources checked.
The parcel, not the point.
A pin marks a point. The read starts from the whole parcel: its boundary, its road frontage, its neighbours, and the current rules that govern it.
A nearby line is not a power commitment.
Service territory, load pressure, queue posture, substation timing, water exposure — what the public record can support, and which utility questions still need professional confirmation.

This is the desk a data-center property sits on: its status, its recommendation and its edition in one band; the four stages of research with their dates; what the record establishes, each finding cited; and the gates still open, each with the specialist who closes it.

Can a 120 MW first phase be permitted on these two parcels under the current code, and which utility and water facts must be established before site control?
Three findings are cited to the record. Two gates are open.
Suggested questions
Recent · 1
Is the substation inside the provider's service territory?
Yes. The commission's 2024 territory map places the substation and both parcels inside the serving utility's certified area¹. Territory is not capacity: the record holds no will-serve letter for this load, and the memo lists that letter as the first open gate. Scout does not predict whether the utility will issue one.

Answers cite the record. Scout never predicts an approval.
Research runs within your plan's limits. Each property's workspace shows whether its research is queued or running. The portfolio shows which properties are held, waiting on you, or ready; its status chips are the one filter.

The memo appears in the property workspace when it's released.
Two pages of a site memo, as the document reads. For a data center the same memo carries the utility section: service territory, queue posture, substation timing, water, each with the specialist who confirms it.
These are sample pages from a memo built as a model of the document; figures its footnotes mark as placeholders are not findings. A delivered memo cites the record wherever a sample page shows a placeholder.

These dated records show land-use actions at specific sites; they do not confirm utility service or available capacity for another property. Each case file links the official act and frames a question to check against a new site's own record.

Questions the record answers
The answer depends on the submitted site, the current rule and the dated local record. Where public documents stop, the memo names the utility or specialist who must confirm the answer.
Each question links the case file that shows it on the record. Historical case files illustrate what to ask; they do not establish permission, capacity or opposition at this property.
Research and market
Market-level records can surface questions for a candidate site. The parcel still needs its own current sources checked.
Power, water, noise and zoning each need their own evidence. Identify the public-record questions before budget compounds. Three fields: where, what, how big. The deliverable is a cited site memo: public-record findings are cited; utility commitments and consultant conclusions stay as professional questions until confirmed.
The review queue targets a delivery window confirmed at acceptance of the completed property submission. Complex or thin-record sites can take longer.
