Common questions

Is WaitingForPower safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Qemu MCP

WaitingForPower — an Energy Project Tracker

Open source, MIT licensed — see LICENSE. Contributions, forks, and issues welcome.

Tracks proposed U.S. energy projects — generation, transmission, storage, LNG, and pipelines, every fuel type — and how long each has been waiting for approval, and why.

The argument is structural, not partisan: solar, wind, storage, gas, nuclear, hydro, LNG, pipelines, and transmission all get stuck in the same handful of bottlenecks. Every tracked delay is mapped to one of seven named cause categories (src/lib/data/causeCategories.ts). The site's policy argument — six specific, bipartisan reform proposals, one per structural bottleneck, each with a stated problem, proposal, strengths, weaknesses, and bill links — lives on a single page, /policies (src/lib/data/policies.ts), deliberately kept separate from the neutral cause-category data so "why a project is stuck" and "what we're arguing should change" aren't the same object.

Quick start

npm install

cp .env.example .env # set DATABASE_URL to your own Postgres instance npx prisma migrate deploy # applies the committed migrations to your database npm run ingest:permitting-dashboard # populate from a live, no-key-needed source npm run dev

Needs a real Postgres connection string in DATABASE_URL — there's no bundled local database file. The deployed app and local dev both point at the same hosted Postgres instance for this project (see "Architecture" below for why); for your own fork, any Postgres works (Neon, Supabase, Vercel/Prisma Postgres, RDS, local postgres via Docker, etc.).

Data & sourcing

All project data comes from live, re-runnable sources — no hand-curated one-off research. An earlier version of this project shipped a small hand-researched seed set; it was removed deliberately in favor of sources that stay current on their own, rather than a snapshot that goes stale. See src/lib/ingest/README.md for the full per-source table, open questions, and how each is scheduled:

SourceModuleCheckedSource's own publish cadence

Virginia SCC CPCN docketssrc/lib/ingest/vaSccDockets.tsCron daily (18:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-va-scc. First of a planned per-state series covering state PUC/PSC dockets, the structural bottleneck this site's other sources can't see (see open question #10).Live API, but only one state so far
Texas PUCT CCN docketssrc/lib/ingest/txPuctDockets.tsCron daily (18:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-tx-puct. Second state in the series — higher-volume than Virginia but with no structured status field, so "still waiting" is inferred from filing history (see file header for how that was calibrated).Server-rendered HTML, no auth
Colorado PUC CPCN docketssrc/lib/ingest/coPucDockets.tsCron daily (19:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-co-puc. Third state — the cleanest yet: status is a real structured field already present in search results, no filing-history inference needed at all.Server-rendered HTML, no auth
Ohio Power Siting Board casessrc/lib/ingest/ohOpsbCases.tsCron daily (19:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-oh-opsb. Fourth state — the simplest fetch yet (one unauthenticated JSON request returns the entire case history), and the first source in the series where both status and fuel/project type are real structured fields, not inferred.Single JSON endpoint, no auth
South Carolina PSC siting-certificate docketssrc/lib/ingest/scPscDockets.tsCron daily (20:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-sc-psc. Fifth state — like Texas, has no reliable status field, but its captions are unusually descriptive (facility type, capacity, county spelled out in the text), and "still waiting" is inferred from an embedded Orders sub-table rather than a full filing-history scan.Server-rendered HTML, no auth
Arizona ACC Line Siting Committee docketssrc/lib/ingest/azAccLineSiting.tsCron daily (20:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-az-acc. Sixth state — a real JSON API, but with the same "status field lies" problem as South Carolina, independently rediscovered: docketStatus can read "Open" on a docket that's actually been decided. The real signal is a separate decisions array.Real JSON API, no auth
Washington EFSEC facility site-certificationssrc/lib/ingest/waEfsecFacilities.tsCron daily (21:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-wa-efsec. Seventh state — Washington's own utility commission (WUTC) turned out to have no siting-certificate authority at all; the real authority is a separate body, EFSEC, whose small (19-facility) all-time list is ingested directly. The one state so far where the *structured* status field is the reliable one and a free-text description was the one caught lying.Server-rendered HTML, no auth
New Mexico PRC CCN docketssrc/lib/ingest/nmPrcDockets.tsCron daily (21:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-nm-prc. Eighth state — a real JSON API behind an Angular SPA front-end, found by capturing the app's own network requests. Its CCN category also catches water-utility certificates and intake-rejected duplicate filings, both filtered out locally; its status field held up under testing, unlike several other states here.Real JSON API, no auth
Illinois ICC CPCN docketssrc/lib/ingest/ilIccDockets.tsCron daily (22:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-il-icc. Ninth state — its CPCN case-type bucket also catches declaratory-ruling and eminent-domain petitions, filtered locally; capacity is published as voltage (kV), not MW, a first for this series. Its Grain Belt Express docket is the same physical line as an existing Permitting Dashboard entry — the case that surfaced and fixed a real cross-source merge bug, see open question #1.Server-rendered HTML, no auth
Florida PSC + DEP siting certificationsrc/lib/ingest/flPscDockets.tsCron daily (22:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-fl-psc. Tenth state — Florida has no CPCN at the PSC at all; siting runs through a separate DEP process the PSC only opens with a small "determination of need" sub-docket. Two agencies' pages are cross-checked against each other, and — unusually for this series — it's the *state-docket agency's own* status field that lies, while a second agency's page is the reliable one.Real JSON API (PSC) + server-rendered HTML (DEP), no auth
New York DPS Article VII/VIII docketssrc/lib/ingest/nyDpsDockets.tsCron daily (23:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-ny-dps. Eleventh state — two live siting-certificate tracks (transmission under Article VII, renewable generation under Article VIII/its predecessor § 94-c) in one system, covered by one module. Publishes no status field at all, and the renewable track's grant order isn't even filed as an Order/Decision — it's a plain correspondence filing, found only by scanning every document title regardless of type.Real JSON API, no auth
Nevada PUCN UEPA permit docketssrc/lib/ingest/nvPucnDockets.tsCron daily (23:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-nv-pucn. Twelfth state — no CPCN; Nevada's equivalent is a Utility Environmental Protection Act permit spanning two separate PUCN systems (a legacy WebForms docket list plus a modern OnBase JSON API). Its multi-phase transmission reviews (an already-"GRANTED" phase followed by a new phase filing months later) required a real "no later substantive filing" check, not just "does any order say GRANTED."Legacy ASP.NET WebForms + real JSON API (OnBase), no auth
Oregon EFSC facility site-certificationssrc/lib/ingest/orEfscFacilities.tsCron daily (00:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-or-efsc. Thirteenth state — like Washington, Oregon's own utility commission has no siting authority; the real body is the Energy Facility Siting Council. Unusually, *both* of its structured status fields turned out unreliable (37 of 97 facilities disagreed between them) — the real signal is a free-text narrative field instead. One current candidate, Cascade Renewable Transmission, is the same physical HVDC line already tracked via Washington's EFSEC module — merged via manualOverrides.csv.Real JSON API (SharePoint REST), no auth
Massachusetts EFSB docketssrc/lib/ingest/maEfsbDockets.tsCron daily (00:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-ma-efsb. Fourteenth state — like Washington/Oregon, the state's DPU itself isn't the real siting authority; a board (EFSB) that sits administratively inside DPU issues the actual certificate. Its own "Closed Date" field can stay null for years after a real grant, so resolution is instead inferred from scanning every filed document's own type for a "Final Decision."Real JSON API, no auth
Oklahoma OCC High Voltage Transmission COA docketssrc/lib/ingest/okOccDockets.tsCron daily (01:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-ok-occ. Fifteenth state — no generic CPCN; Oklahoma's own "CCN" relief type is used almost exclusively by telecom carriers, and the real electric-siting equivalent is a narrower "High Voltage Transmission COA" certificate — only 4 cases have ever been filed under it since 2022, all already resolved as of shipping, a real (not buggy) zero-candidate result.Real JSON API (Laserfiche WebLink), no auth
Utah PSC CPCN docketssrc/lib/ingest/utPscDockets.tsCron daily (01:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-ut-psc. Sixteenth state — across Utah's entire electric-docket history back to 1987, only 12 dockets are genuine new CPCN applications and all 12 are already granted, another real zero-candidate result (PacifiCorp/Rocky Mountain Power's resource decisions go through Integrated Resource Plan acknowledgment instead). No PDF-parsing dependency exists in this project, so final orders (unstructured PDFs) are read by decompressing their own FlateDecode streams directly with Node's built-in zlib.Server-rendered HTML, no auth
Wisconsin PSC CPCN / Certificate of Authority docketssrc/lib/ingest/wiPscDockets.tsCron daily (02:00 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-wi-psc. Seventeenth state — both the large-facility CPCN and smaller-facility Certificate of Authority processes share one docket case-type code. PSC's own "Status" field is a records-retention lifecycle flag, not a case-decision flag — dockets decided 7+ years ago still show "Active" indefinitely; the real signal is a filed order titled "Final Decision."Server-rendered HTML (ASP.NET WebForms), no auth
Kentucky PSC CPCN / Certificate of Construction docketssrc/lib/ingest/kyPscDockets.tsCron daily (02:30 UTC), /api/cron/ingest-ky-psc. Eighteenth state — unusually, its "Include Closed" search filter turned out to be reliable, verified both directions against real dockets; used as the primary status signal for the first time in this series, with a text-based grant/deny scan kept as a defensive secondary check anyway.Server-rendered HTML (ASP.NET MVC), no auth
