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

What the record shows
- Two of the five requests at this node withdrew, and 100 MW of the 490 MW filed here never reached operation.
- Completions here took between 3.5 and 5.7 years from request to commercial operation.
- The largest request filed here, 150 MW, is among those that reached operation.
- Two requests were filed on 2016-04-29, and all of them reached operation.
- Fort Powhatan Solar appears two times in the queue at this node, filed between 2015 and 2016, of which one reached operation.
What a decision record would have to make explicit
- With five requests, nothing at this node generalises to another; it is a record, not a rate.
- The dataset records no withdrawal reasons, study costs or upgrade assignments, so those remain unknowns on this record.
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.
