What is a Large Load?

At United Power, a Large Load is any service location requiring more than 10 megawatts (MW). 

Who should use this process?

The United Power large load request process is for organizations planning major power needs — especially those building or operating hyperscale data centers. 

An organization or developer should use this process if: 

  • You expect to need over 10 MW at a single site
  • You are a hyperscale operator, developer, or investor
  • You plan to own, lease, or develop a large data center campus
  • You have or are pursuing energy partnerships totaling 200 MW or more

Timelines & Communication

Large load applicants are expected to complete the initial inquiry to start the process. Please fill out all questions on the inquiry for review. Please note we will need to know the initial and final loads to categorize the project accurately. 

  • Each large load request will be assigned a Project Manager and a Key Accounts Advisor to support communication throughout the process.
  • The Project Manager will reach out to the applicant after they have completed their initial review of the inquiry questionnaire. A preliminary meeting will be scheduled to discuss the project and deliver the large load application.
