For journalists & researchers
A number you can cite — and check.
The number is free to cite, no permission needed. Each figure names the operator queue file it was read from and the date it was read, and the totals recompute from our public JSON before you publish. We're faceless by design: the authority is the evidence and the dated record, not a person to quote.

How to cite us
Attribute as: “LOADSTAR, generation-queue reading as of [date], index.loadstar.energy/the-number.”
Please keep the honest line: the number measures power plants and storage waiting to connect, not data-center demand. It is a floor under our current reading, not a forecast. Unsigned is not the same as fake.

The problem is on the record
