DAT-AI code — which its key
defines as “AI Datacenter” — in the edition dated July 31, 2026. The operator states the
scope of that total in the table itself: it “excludes withdrawn and in-service load projects”. The end-use code appears on 51 of the 73 requests:
withdrawn rows are left blank, and a few others are.Load Project Tracking tab. The MW and the labels are the operator's; the request
counts are ours, from the individual rows. Here it is, whole:DAT Data Center (general)DAT-AI AI DatacenterM-CH Microchip fabricationDAT-CM Cryptocurrency miningRD Research and DevelopmentM-CG Consumable GoodsM-IN Industrial GoodsO Other| Code | End-use, as published | MW | Requests | Share |

Two classes in the published taxonomy carry no load in this edition: M Manufacturing (general), HP Hydrogen Production. We
list them because the taxonomy is wider than what currently appears in it.
Taken together, the three data-center classes account for 11,911.9 MW — 88% of the classified load in this table. The denominator is NYISO's, and so is the caveat on it: the table “excludes withdrawn and in-service load projects”. It is not the whole queue, and we do not call it one.

11, IA Completed — and in this file no load
request sits at 11. The IA Tender Date column is empty on all
73 rows.The ladder carries four further rungs beyond the agreement, through
construction to commercial service. Four requests stop one rung short, at Accepted Cost
Allocation/IA in Progress, while eight sit further along and so plainly cleared that stage
— and FS Completion Date is empty as well. So the most specific large-load
disclosure we have found follows a request from first study to commercial operation without
ever recording when the agreement was signed. We are describing the record, not the world:
those agreements plainly exist. They are simply not in the file. The wider survey of what each
operator publishes is at index.loadstar.energy/queues.
The workbook has 73 load rows totalling 16,922.9 MW. Subtracting the 2,978.8 MW NYISO reports as withdrawn leaves 13,944.1 MW not withdrawn. The operator’s own end-use table totals 13,568.9 MW, and our independent reading of that classified population matches it to the decimal. The 375.2 MW difference is five not-withdrawn rows carrying no end-use code, four of them already in commercial service.
We report the reconciliation rather than a single number because a survey that cannot reproduce an operator’s own arithmetic has no business describing that operator’s file. A collector repeats this comparison against every new edition, and raises an alarm if it ever stops matching.
