The node where almost everything got built.
Sweetwater 230 kV
Five requests, four of them built: every wind project filed here reached commercial operation, and the one solar request withdrew.

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

What the record shows
- Four of five requests reached commercial operation, and 337.9 MW of the 487.9 MW filed here was built.
- All four wind requests were built, taking between 3.1 and 5.7 years.
- The only request that withdrew is also the only solar request, and it stayed in the queue for four and a half years first.
- The three requests filed in 2006 reached operation in 2009, 2010 and 2012 — in a different order from the one they were filed in.
What a decision record would have to make explicit
- This node is the counterweight to the rest of this set: most requests here were built. Reading either outcome as typical would be a mistake in both directions.
- No project at this node is named in the dataset, so nothing here can be attributed to a developer.
- With five requests, the split between wind and solar outcomes cannot be separated from the eight years that divide them.
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.
