Interconnection requests against EIA's generators

For generation requests that reached operation (every one in BPA's own workbook, and the 2015-2020 cohort's requests to other providers in LBNL's compilation), a reviewed disposition against EIA's generator inventory: linked to the EIA units the request concerns (a new plant, phases of one, an uprate, a repower, or an agreement for a plant already running with no capacity change, never counted as a new plant), not in EIA's inventory (a cited source identifies a facility EIA lists no unit for), or unresolved with a reason. A link needs a cited public source that identifies the facility and the same state, county and resource in both accounts; a name is never enough. The queue's and EIA's MW and status stay each source's own and are never reconciled or added; disagreements are counted. Months from request to operation exist only for new plants and phases.

Each source: evidence, method and origin5 sources
Every source this dataset is built from, as each declares itself. Nothing here is summarized across sources.
SourceOne source row isEvidence and method
Request to generator dispositions (pipeline/config/crosswalks/queue_generator_links.csv) ↗Notice and licenceLicence: Curation CC0; each row cites the public page that identifies its facilityreviewed disposition: request x linked EIA generator, one row for a request not linkedreported · curatedA reviewed judgement, not a source's statement: a link needs a cited identity source and agreeing attributes, a name is never enough, and unresolved rows say why. The queue's and EIA's MW and status stay each source's own.
Interconnection Request Queue (generator interconnection and line/load requests), published workbook ↗Notice and licenceLicence: Publisher terms (public transmission business information)Not declaredreported · directA queue request is a request for interconnection service, not a plant: many requests can describe one facility, requests are withdrawn or restudied, and an energized request does not name the operating plant. Request numbers and study milestones are BPA's; nameplate and interconnection MW are the requestor's figures. No location beyond county and the named point of interconnection.
Queued Up: 2026 Edition, interconnection queue data file (data through 2025; workbook dated May 2026) ↗Notice and licenceLicence: CC BY 4.0Not declaredreported · directA compilation of transmission providers' interconnection queues in one schema, as each provider published them and as LBNL and GridTracker cleaned them: a request for interconnection service, not a plant, with the provider's own status text kept beside LBNL's status, and with agreement, operation and withdrawal dates only where the provider publishes them. Requests sited in WA, OR, ID and MT are loaded; the compilation lags the providers' own queues by months, so an active request here can have changed since. MW are the requester's figures and never enter capacity totals. Rows carrying BPA's request numbers are candidates for the same request in BPA's own workbook and are never merged with it.

Current assertions use the complete pinned workbook; cancelled and indefinitely postponed units share a sheet and are not distinguished.

Measures

ColumnUnitWhat it measures
request_mwMWThe request's MW as its queue source states it, repeated on each row of the request, with that basis on the row: BPA's Nameplate MW Total, or LBNL's mw_1 + mw_2 + mw_3 of the same request. The requester's figure, never a plant's capacity and never added to EIA's.
eia_mwMWThe linked unit's nameplate as the newest complete EIA edition that lists it states it (the latest EIA-860M workbook, else the annual inventory), with that edition on the row; never blended across editions and never added to BPA's figure.

How often it changes

Checked 2026-09-28
Publisher
Not stated: each disposition cites the public page that identifies its facility (a BPA study, an agency, commission, utility or developer page), read on the row's checked date
Delay
Not stated: each identity page is dated where it states a date; the row keeps the date it was read (checked)
This atlas
Reviewed by hand and committed with the code, so a release pins the dispositions by its code revision. Each row records when its identity source was read (checked) and when it was reviewed (reviewed_on); the review state takes reviewed_on plus 365 days as its due date, because EIA-860 and EIA-861 publish annually. The queue's and EIA's figures on a row come from this release's editions of those sources, named under edition.grid-map.pages.dev/sources/maintenance/ ↗
