The queue record
Every interconnection request the dataset records at this point of interconnection, in filing order.
| Requested | Project | Technology | Capacity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013-11-14 | BlueBell Solar | Solar | 30 MW | Built2019-11-07 · 6.0 yrs |
| 2017-12-05 | Aviator Wind | Wind | 525 MW | Built2021-06-22 · 3.5 yrs |
| 2018-10-22 | BlueBell Solar II | Solar | 115 MW | Built2021-04-28 · 2.5 yrs |
| 2024-10-01 | Coke BESS | Battery | 220.3 MW | Still in queue |
What the record shows
- 670 MW of the 890 MW filed here reached commercial operation.
- Completions here took between 2.5 and 6.0 years from request to commercial operation (median 3.5).
- The largest request filed here, 525 MW (wind), reached operation 3.5 years after filing.
- By technology, the requests here were solar 2, battery 1, wind 1.
- The longest-standing active request here was filed on 2024-10-01.
- The dataset records this point of interconnection under two 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.
- One request is 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.
