ATCO Electric DER siting shortlist
Version 1.0.0
Go from ATCO Electric's whole Alberta distribution grid to a small, mapped shortlist of the feeder segments with the most DER hosting capacity, without ever pulling all 880,623 features.

Rank substations by DER hosting capacity and export a GeoJSON shortlist
Inputs default to a whole-grid scan. Narrow `substation` once step 2 has told you which substations lead, and raise `minCapacityKw` to match ATCO's own top map class break (15,000 kW).
1
record-vintage
Capture the layer's edit timestamps. There is no changelog for this API, so editingInfo.dataLastEditDate is the only provenance a downstream report can cite.
2
rank-substations
One request summarizes the entire grid — max, average and segment count per substation, ordered by peak capacity. 135 rows instead of 880,623 features.
3
top-feeder-per-circuit
Within the chosen substation, return the single highest-capacity segment on each feeder. Note that queryTopFeatures requires BOTH topFilter and where — omitting where returns "No where clause specified." with HTTP 200.
4
size-the-shortlist
Count before fetching. A single substation can hold tens of thousands of segments — the BONNYVILLE substation returned 34,009 on 2026-07-27.
5
export-shortlist-geojson
Pull only the qualifying segments, reprojected to WGS84 so the output drops straight into a web map. Page on properties.exceededTransferLimit, ordering by OBJECTID for stable paging.
