interconnection queue

“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.”

“And so those queues, you know, were, used to be a couple of years, and now are two, are four years or longer, just to get out of the queue.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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…”

“We have 400,000 megawatts of batteries in interconnection queues.”

“About 95% of the current interconnection queue is associated with clean energy of various kinds.”
