11 statements about Interconnection Queue, every show
Johnson: 95% of US interconnection queue is clean energy
“About 95% of the current interconnection queue is associated with clean energy of various kinds.”
Shah: 400,000 MW of batteries are in US interconnection queues
“We have 400,000 megawatts of batteries in interconnection queues.”
Over two terawatts of proposed power capacity wait in US grid queues
“There's over, like, two, I want to say there's, like, two terawatts in the queue right now, which means that there's, like, two terawatts of power generating capacity, a nameplate, at least, like, what it could max out at, waiting to be connected to the grid.”
Norris: US interconnection queue grew 40% in 2022 to over 2,000 GW
“So, in twenty-twenty-two alone, the backlog of projects in interconnection queues waiting to connect to the grid Grew by 40%. It brought the total to just over 2000 gigawatts. 80% of this growth, growth was driven by solar and storage projects, and for compari…”
Gramlich: US grid queue holds 2 TW, exceeding total existing capacity
“There's about two terawatts of generation in the queue. It's almost all wind, solar, and storage. And there's only about a terawatt and a quarter of generating capacity operating on the grid right now.”
Lacey: Over 1 Terawatt of Renewables Sits in Interconnection Queues
“We have over a terawatt of renewables capacity sitting in interconnection queues, partly because of transmission constraints.”
Lacey: Grid interconnection queues are delaying over one terawatt of clean energy
“Long interconnection queues that are delaying over a terawatt of clean energy capacity, Yes, a terawatt, that's a real number.”
Boyle: New grid energy projects face four-to-five-year interconnection queue delays
“Projects are waiting four to five years, maybe longer if they're getting into the queue now.”
O'Donnell: Oklahoma Wind Faces 10-Year Queue, California Solar Averages 7.5 Years
“There's a 10 year interconnection queue in Oklahoma for new wind projects. The average interconnection time for new utility scale PV projects in California is seven and a half years.”
Reed: Over one terawatt of US generation is stuck in interconnection queues
“There's more than, I want to say there's more than a terawatt of energy generation in these queues across the United States that aren't able to come online because we don't have the necessary transmission to support them.”
