The queue record

Every interconnection request the dataset records at this point of interconnection, in filing order.

Interconnection requests recorded at this point of interconnection, with request date, capacity and outcome.

What the record shows

  • 1,091 MW of the 1,091 MW filed here withdrew.
  • The largest request filed here, 364 MW (geothermal), withdrew 0.9 years after filing.
  • Five requests were filed on 2011-03-31; all of them withdrew.
  • Seven of the 14 withdrawals came within a year of filing.
  • The dataset records this point of interconnection under eight spellings, which are combined here.

What a decision record would have to make explicit

  • Every request at this node withdrew. The public record does not say why, so a new request here would have to rest on its own study evidence rather than on this history.
  • The dataset records outcomes and dates, not reasons, so no cause is attributed to any outcome here.

What this does and does not show

This is a reading of a public dataset, not a customer case study: no engagement, customer or client is involved. The dataset records outcomes — what was built, what withdrew, and when — but not why any project withdrew, so no cause is attributed here. Nothing on this page claims GridVision predicted, influenced or would have changed any outcome, and a pattern at one point of interconnection does not generalise to another.
