About this page

This document is the 2024 edition of 'Queued Up', which outlines the characteristics of power plant transmission interconnections as of the end of 2023. Nearly 11,600 projects are actively seeking interconnection, representing 1,570 GW of generation capacity and 1,030 GW of storage, with solar, storage, and wind making up 95% of the active queue. Over 94% of proposed generation is zero-carbon, with substantial solar and storage capacity distributed across the U.S. Completion rates for projects are low, and wait times are increasing, with the average project taking nearly 5 years from interconnection request to commercial operation in 2023.
