Identified by BPA record of decision, April 2009: Iberdrola requested 200 MW under GI request G0226 (submitted 2006-05-24) for its Leaning Juniper II Wind Project in Gilliam County, at BPA's Jones Canyon Substation ↗· read 2026-09-28

A link needs a cited public source that identifies the facility, and the state, county and resource both accounts give agree; a name is never enough. Each account keeps its own MW and status; nothing is summed across sources. Elapsed time runs from the request month to EIA's operating month, only for a new plant or a phase, because an uprate, a repower or an agreement for a running plant did not create the unit.

A 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request is a request for interconnection service, not a plant: many requests can describe one facility, requests are withdrawn or restudied, and an energized request does not name the operating plant.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.

Map location unavailable. This plant remains part of the source inventory and tables.

This request’s life

OperationalWhere an interconnection request stands as of its source's cutoff, in one vocabulary mapped from each provider's own status text, which stays beside it: active, operational, withdrawn, suspended, decommissioned or unknown. An executed interconnection agreement is not operation, and a request still active or suspended at the cutoff is unresolved, not failed. Elapsed days run from the request date to a published milestone date and exist only where both dates do.Definition ↗

Operational: the provider reports the request in service or energized. An interconnection agreement is not operation, and a request still active at a source’s cutoff is unresolved, not failed.

Dated events

Each source’s own dates, in order: a day where the source gives a day, a month where it gives a month. An expectation is not an event, and an assertion month is when EIA first listed the unit, not when anything happened there.

The outcome is BPA's status mapped to the common vocabulary, with the status kept beside it. A candidate is LBNL's row carrying this request number: its dates and status are LBNL's account of the same request as of its own cutoff, shown beside BPA's and never merged into it. How requests from 2015–2020 turned out.

Geographic & reporting context

A 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.

A 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.

Queued Up: 2026 Edition, interconnection queue data file (data through 2025; workbook dated May 2026)

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and GridTracker, Queued Up: 2026 Edition, interconnection queue data file (Rand et al., 2026), CC BY 4.0

A 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.
