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

  • Three of the five requests at this node withdrew, and 612 MW of the 658 MW filed here never reached operation.
  • Completions here took between 1.8 and 2.9 years from request to commercial operation.
  • The largest request ever filed here, 300 MW, withdrew 8.7 years after filing.
  • Montpelier appears two times in the queue at this node, filed between 2006 and 2007, of which two reached operation.
  • Three technologies were filed here: Gas, Wind and battery.

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.
