AI Utility Campus siting
Where compute, water, and chlor-alkali can co-locate.
Composite ranking of every U.S. municipality on how well it can host an integrated AI utility campus: hyperscale compute paired with desalination (heat-driven, brine output) and a sodium-based chlor-alkali plant (consumes brine, produces caustic soda, chlorine, and clean hydrogen).
For whom
- Chemical operators planning new chlor-alkali capacity
- Infrastructure developers + infrastructure investors
- Hyperscale + data-center site selectors
- Corporate site-selection consultants
What you learn
- Top-25 candidate munis nationally by composite score
- Nearest chlor-alkali plant + distance per muni
- Four-pillar breakdown: water, power, chemical, community
- Per-pillar confidence (verified / inferred / partial)
National ranking is free. Per-muni 4-pillar deep-dive unlocks on a chemical or P3 subscription.
Sample data. The V1 per-muni loader is live, but the chlor-alkali plant registry that powers the chemical pillar is not in the production image yet, so the live ranking is withheld until it lands. Endpoint shape and page render are already production. As of 2026-05-22T00:00:00Z.

What you get on a paid tier
- Per-muni component scores with the underlying inputs for water, power, chemical, and community pillars.
- Freight-cost estimates from a hypothetical campus origin to the nearest chlor-alkali plant + customer base.
- Per-component confidence and source provenance so investment theses survive a diligence challenge.
- Saved scouts that re-rank weekly as new chlor-alkali capacity, transmission upgrades, and consent-decree status changes land.
