The queue record

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

Interconnection requests recorded at this point of interconnection, with request date, capacity and outcome.

What the record shows

  • Two of the eight requests at this node withdrew, and 475 MW of the 605 MW filed here never reached operation.
  • The one project that reached operation, 130 MW of wind, took 3.4 years from request to commercial operation.
  • Bitter Ridge Wind Farm appears two times in the queue at this node, filed between 2017 and 2020, of which one reached operation.
  • Three technologies were filed here: Wind, Solar and battery.
  • Five of the eight requests were still active at the end of the dataset, so this node's record is not settled.

What a decision record would have to make explicit

  • A pattern across eight requests at one node is an observation about this node, not a rate that transfers elsewhere.
  • Four of the eight requests are unnamed in the dataset, so nothing here can be attributed to a developer.
  • Five requests are unresolved, so any comparison at this node has to stay open rather than concluded.
  • 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.
