Thresholds, against a 1.25 MW pod
| FERC ANOPR large load | 20 MW | 1.25 MW pod is under it |
| FERC show cause large load | 50 MW peak above 69 kV | 1.25 MW pod is under it |
| GHG reporting, Part 98 | 25 000 tonnes CO2e a year | not reached by a single pod |
| Title V major source | varies, 25 to 100 tons a year | not reached by a single pod |
A 1.25 MW pod clears none of these thresholds, which is the point: the pod is small enough to sit under the rules that are currently reshaping large load interconnection. Thresholds are read from rules, not from this service.
