The US interconnection queue is twice its installed capacity

The size and capacity of renewable plants has steadily climbed since 2015. The mean solar plant requesting grid interconnection in 2023 was over 250% larger than in 2015; standalone

Grid connection barriers to renewable energy deployment in the

Here, we quantitatively document the challenges of processing the rapid rise of grid connection proposals across the United States and discuss opportunities for institutional reform.

Reducing transmission expansion by co-optimizing sizing of wind,

Optimizing interconnection capacity and co-location can reduce total grid connection and shorter-distance transmission capacity expansion on the order of 10% at storage penetration equivalent to

Renewable electricity – Renewables 2025 – Analysis

Growth in utility-scale and distributed solar PV more than doubles, representing nearly 80% of worldwide renewable electricity capacity expansion. Low module costs, relatively efficient permitting processes

Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions

We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory

Grid connection barriers to renewable energy deployment in the

The surging volume of clean energy capacity in the queues points to a major and imminent transformation of the US power system, but the growing backlog is also evidence of a
