Is the power plant your model says is coming online next year actually happening?

We can see from space that it hasn’t broken ground.

EIA filings are months old. Proposed project lists are full of plants that will never be built. Your generation forecast is wrong — and every trade, every forward curve, and every investment decision downstream of it inherits that error.

Vulcan uses weekly satellite imagery to show you what’s actually happening on the ground — not what someone filed 6 months ago.

Vulcan UC

Power Plant Coverage Across the U.S. by Technology and Capacity

Vulcan UC coverage extends to 200 GW of proposed projects and is updated weekly. Stop guessing and start knowing.

The energy market runs on data everyone knows is wrong

What You’re Working With Today

EIA data that’s 3–6 months stale
Proposed project lists where only a fraction will break ground
Construction timelines based on developer press releases, not physical evidence
No way to independently verify what’s actually being built

What Vulcan Gives You

Weekly satellite imagery of 200+ GW of proposed projects
Visual confirmation: construction started, stalled, or canceled
Infrastructure monitoring before and after events
Ground truth that your forecast can actually be built on

Satellite Intelligence

Plant-level insights at critical locations

Access to accurate, timely satellite imagery provides the insights needed for confident decision-making. See construction progress — or lack of it — weeks before any filing reflects reality.

How Vulcan Works

See What’s Real

Weekly satellite monitoring of every major proposed power project, LNG facility, and data center in the US. Visual proof of construction progress — or lack of it.

Track What’s Changing

Pre-event and post-event imagery of existing infrastructure. Weather damage, shutdowns, incidents — see the impact before the market prices it in.

Model With Truth

Continuously updated federal energy data cross-referenced with visual confirmation. Rank projects by actual likelihood. Build your forecast on evidence, not announcements.

Vulcan Capabilities

Construction Tracking

Which projects are actually being built?

Vulcan tracks proposed U.S. power projects, data centers, and LNG facilities on a weekly basis. Visual confirmation shows which projects have broken ground, which are stalled, and which are likely to be cancelled — months before any filing reflects reality. Clients can also submit specific projects for private monitoring.

Infrastructure Watch

What just happened to that plant?

Monitors existing infrastructure — power plants, ports, industrial facilities. When weather, operational incidents, or human activity causes changes, Vulcan provides before-and-after imagery so you can assess the impact independently and immediately.

Power Intelligence

Is your capacity model telling the truth?

Continuously maintained federal energy data enhanced with visual confirmation. Rank proposed projects by historical success rates — factoring location, ownership, technology, and whether construction has actually started. See the real trajectory of U.S. power markets, not the filed trajectory.

What changes when you have ground truth

With Vulcan

You see construction delays weeks before they hit the market
Your capacity model reflects what’s actually on the ground
You verify developer claims independently — from space
Your trades and investment recommendations are built on evidence, not filings
You catch project cancellations while competitors are still modeling them as online

Without Vulcan

You’re trading on a genstack that includes projects that will never be built
Your competitor saw the construction halt from space — you found out from an EIA filing 4 months later
You recommended a $200M infrastructure investment based on timelines that were already obsolete
Every stale data point is a blind spot your competitors can see through

Stop trading on data that’s already wrong.

See what’s actually being built. See what’s actually broken. Make decisions on ground truth.
