Choose a Useful First Term

Specific phrases usually produce more useful results than broad single words. For example, "large load" is generally more useful than "load," and "data center" is more useful than "center."

• Topic: large load, resource adequacy, co-location
• Technology: battery storage, nuclear, distributed generation
• Organization: a client, competitor, utility, trade association, or developer
• Project: a facility, transmission project, or development name
• Regulatory phrase: behind-the-meter, interconnection agreement, load shed

TIP: For a high-priority issue, create a small set of related terms rather than one very broad keyword. You can refine the list as you see which phrases produce useful results.
