Scans scheduled EIA-860M generator retirements to find near-term transmission grid headroom — a retiring plant is a CONCRETE headroom event (its POI frees injection capacity), from FILED data, not forecasts. Returns _entity=retirement_headroom_results: retiring generators inside your horizon (name, MW, fuel, prime mover, retirement_date), representative_point, nearest substations with distance_km + count within 25 km, county-level queue_pressure (competing in-progress MW), iso_context (the generator's own EIA balancing-authority code), and a pre-filled site_evaluation_handoff (analyze_site + get_water_risk args, capacity_mw = YOUR target load). Try: get_retirement_headroom target_mw=50 horizon_months=18 region_iso=MISO — "50 MW opening near a substation inside 18 months, sidestepping the 4-7yr mega-queue." Honesty: meta.caveat flags that filed dates are subject to ISO reliability reviews (RMR extensions). Use to find WHERE capacity opens next; for what's already queued use get_refined_queue; for one site use analyze_site.
