Texas accounted for the largest cumulative electricity capacity in interconnection queues in the United States in 2022. The southern state had approximately 121 gigawatts of solar power capacity and 85 gigawatts of energy storage projects waiting to be connected to the grid.
Overall, roughly two terawatts worth of electricity storage or generation capacity were in interconnection queues in the U.S. that year.
Cumulative electricity capacity in interconnection queues in the United States as of 2022, by leading state and resource
(in megawatts)
Includes both standalone and hybrid capacity.
*Approximate because hybrid storage capacity was estimated for some projects.
Supplementary notes
According to the source, interconnection queue data through the end of 2022 was compiled for seven independent system operators (ISOs) and 35 utilities, serving about 85 percent of all U.S. electricity load. Only includes "active" projects in interconnection queues, and "operational" and "withdrawn" projects when available.
