What the record shows
- 1,841 MW of the 2,617 MW filed here withdrew.
- The largest request filed here, 300 MW (battery), withdrew 1.6 years after filing.
- Nine requests were filed on 2023-04-17; 6 withdrew and 3 remain active.
- One of the 8 withdrawals came within a year of filing.
- By technology, the requests here were battery 9, solar 1, solar + battery 1, wind + battery 1.
- The longest-standing active request here was filed on 2021-04-15.
- The dataset records this point of interconnection under four spellings, which are combined here.
What a decision record would have to make explicit
- None of the resolved requests at this node reached operation, and the public record does not say why.
- Four requests are unresolved, so the outcome counts at this node can still change.
- 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.
