Energy Activity, Tracked Live

What you are looking at

GoGridPulse is a filterable map of energy-industry regulatory filings: oil and gas drilling permits, radioactive materials licensing, and permits for power generation and backup generators. Each of these is a public record, but they are published by different agencies in different formats and on different schedules. GoGridPulse collects them into one place so you can see where activity is happening and what is new. Every record links back to the agency that published it, and nothing on the site is estimated or filled in.

How to use it

1. Pick one or more layers and states in the sidebar to narrow what the map and list show.
2. Narrow further by county, by age (this week, month, or year), or by searching an operator, facility, or lease name.
3. Enter a city, address, or coordinates to sort the list by distance from that place.
4. Select any record to see its status, location, and a link to the original agency page.
5. Create a free account to save a filter and receive an email when something new matches it.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an official government site?

No. GoGridPulse is an independent project and is not affiliated with any agency whose records it shows. It is a convenience layer for exploring public data, so confirm anything decision-critical with the source agency.

How often is the data updated?

Sources that publish a data feed are refreshed twice a day. A few agencies publish only a short web page or a handful of PDFs, and those lists are maintained by hand and rechecked periodically. The Data Sources page says which is which.

Why is my state missing, especially for radioactive materials?

Most state radiation-control programs do not publish a public list of licenses or applications. We reviewed every state and the District of Columbia, and the states shown above are the ones that publish usable public records today. When another state starts publishing, or we find a source we missed, we add it.

Why do some records have no pin on the map?

A pin is placed only when the agency publishes coordinates or an address we can match with confidence. A wrong pin is worse than none, so records without a trustworthy location stay in the list and the totals but are not plotted.

Does it cost anything?

No. Browsing the map and saving filters with email alerts are free.
