OPERATING COMPARISON
Compare paths, not scores.
NearGrid shows how the path to operation differs between two systems without collapsing them into one number.

Binding constraint
No credible large-load compute path exists until Caroní generation and transmission reliability improve enough to establish deliverable megawatts at a specific site; rehabilitation contracts are progress, not available compute capacity.
Large-load authorization and allocation, followed by site-specific transmission and interconnection timing.
Slowest dependency
Caroní generation and transmission rehabilitation sufficient to establish reliable, site-specific deliverable capacity.
Allocation plus site-specific transmission and interconnection timing.
Main mismatch
Guayana has extraordinary hydro infrastructure, but installed resource cannot be treated as available compute power. Guri is operating materially below design capability, and the current rehabilitation program is still restoring existing reliability before a new hyperscale load can be underwritten.
Power, fiber, and execution capacity are mature, but incremental large loads are deliberately sequenced through authorization, allocation, and network availability.
