generator interconnection queue
MISO announced further delays in its generator interconnection queue for the cycles of projects that entered in 2022, 2023 and 2025.
FERC ruled that MISO is free to continue using its interconnection queue fast lane, shutting down rehearing requests from several clean energy organizations.
CAISO has proposed new interconnection criteria to flush out stale projects from a generator interconnection queue that has reached record volumes in recent years.
MISO has indicated that new generation to serve data centers and other large loads will be mission critical over 2026 and said it will take pains to interconnect units.
IESO says record-high clearing prices in its capacity auction will have little impact on ratepayers because the ISO's medium- and long-term procurements play a larger role in the region’s resource adequacy.
MISO said it will not postpone the kickoff of a study on its 2025 cycle of interconnection requests, rebuffing stakeholders’ requests for a slowdown to clear some of the queue’s four-year backlog.
MISO will study 6 GW of mostly natural gas-fired generation projects in the second group of entrants under its interconnection queue fast track.
FERC approved MISO’s proposal to increase the number of generation projects it may study under its expedited interconnection queue lane from 10 to 15 per quarter.
MISO’s generator interconnection queue now totals 174 GW across 944 projects, a result of several developers dropping out of the line in recent months.
If just 10% of the land-based renewables in PJM’s generator interconnection queue had been developed, the total cost of the RTO’s 2026/27 capacity auction would have been reduced by $3.5 billion, according to an analysis GridLab commissioned by Aurora Energy Research.
