Market-wide queue vintages, 2014–2019

Six years of NYISO interconnection requests: the built share held between 15% and 25% through 2018, and the 2019 vintage records no completions at all.

The queue record

Every request this market received in each year, and how those requests had resolved by the end of the dataset.

Interconnection requests by the year they were filed, with how many had been built, withdrawn or were still active at the end of the dataset.

What the record shows

  • NYISO received 40 interconnection requests in 2014 and 166 in 2019, roughly a fourfold increase.
  • Of the 166 requests filed in 2019, 135 had withdrawn and 31 were still active at the end of 2025. None had reached commercial operation.
  • Across the 2014 to 2018 vintages the built share stayed between 15% and 25%.
  • Where the dataset records an in-service date, the median time from request to commercial operation ranged from 4.2 to 7.3 years.
  • The 2015 and 2016 vintages took longest to build, at medians of 6.3 and 7.3 years.

What a decision record would have to make explicit

  • Only 83 of the 215 NYISO requests recorded as operational carry an in-service date, so the median column is computed from that subset rather than from every project that was built.
  • The 2019 vintage is not settled: 31 requests were still active at the end of the dataset, so its built share can only rise.
  • The dataset records no withdrawal reasons, so nothing here explains why the 2019 vintage resolved as it did.

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.
