<\/div>\n\n
\n\n

SynMax watches each announced project from groundbreaking to commissioning, so you know which are real, which have stalled and when each is likely to come online. The completion date moves when the site does, not when a press release is revised.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Problem<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Developer timelines carry an incentive.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Developer timelines are forecasts with an incentive attached. A meaningful share of announced capacity never breaks ground, and much of what does arrives late, but the public record rarely says so until long after.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n
\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n

Announced is not started<\/h3>\n\n\n

A permit and a press release do not move dirt. The site shows whether anything has actually begun.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n

Delay shows up early<\/h3>\n\n\n

Stalled sites look stalled from above months before a revised date is published.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n

Progress is continuous<\/h3>\n\n\n

Foundations, structures and equipment deliveries mark real stages, so completion is estimated from evidence.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

From Paper to Ground<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Much of the pipeline is paper.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Every capacity model starts with a list of announced projects. Permits, press releases and queue positions all add to that list, and none of them move dirt. The list shrinks at every stage between the announcement and the day a project runs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Observation shows where each project actually sits, so the capacity you plan around is the capacity that is being built.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Early Warning<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A stalled site looks stalled from above.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Developers rarely announce a delay until they have to. On the ground, the signs come much earlier: clearing that stops, foundations that sit untouched, equipment that never arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n

Each stage is marked as it happens and compared with comparable builds, so a completion estimate changes as the site does. A project that stops changing reads as delayed months before a revised date is published.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Every project, by stage.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Each tracked project on the map, with its observed stage set against the announced date.<\/p>\n\n\n

The list shows which projects are on schedule, behind or stalled, and the map shows where each one sits, so a capacity question and a location question have the same answer.<\/p>\n\n\n

FAQ<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Questions buyers ask.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\n
What counts as breaking ground?<\/summary>\n

Observed change on the site itself, such as clearing and foundations. A permit and a press release do not count.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

How is the completion estimate made?<\/summary>\n

Observed progress is compared with comparable builds. The estimate updates as the site changes, not when a developer revises a schedule.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

How early does a delay show?<\/summary>\n

A stalled site looks stalled from above months before a revised date is published.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Which projects are covered?<\/summary>\n

Announced energy projects, including power generation and large-load sites such as data centers.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Can I check a site after a storm or outage?<\/summary>\n

Yes. Repeat imagery shows what changed at a facility after a weather event.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

How do I get the data?<\/summary>\n

In the platform, through agents, by API, in Snowflake or in Excel, so the answer arrives in the system your team already uses.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
