What the record shows
- 810 MW of the 2,696 MW filed here withdrew, and 666 MW reached commercial operation.
- Completions here took between 5.5 and 6.8 years from request to commercial operation (median 6.1).
- The largest request filed here, 603 MW (solar), was filed in 2018 and is still active.
- Two requests were filed on 2018-05-09; all of them withdrew.
- None of the 4 withdrawals came within a year of filing; the quickest took 3.4 years.
- By technology, the requests here were solar 6, battery 3, other 1.
- The longest-standing active request here was filed on 2018-04-12.
What a decision record would have to make explicit
- What separated the requests that reached operation from those that withdrew, such as study results, upgrade assignments or site conditions, is not in the public queue record, so a decision record here would have to carry it as an unknown.
- 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.
