Capacity waiting in the US interconnection queue
Airform's Introduction cites 2,060 gigawatts of generation and storage in the interconnection queue, with a median wait from request to operation above five years. LBNL's Queued Up series is the underlying source and is updated annually.
As cited in the Airform Introduction; reconcile with the current LBNL edition
United States generation and storage in interconnection queues
The figure is reproduced from the company's own essay and attributed to LBNL's analysis. Queue capacity and wait times change with each edition, and much queued capacity is later withdrawn. Use the current LBNL edition for any calculation and retain the year and scope.
