BPA interconnection requestin Benton, WA. A project record with the source’s own status, dates and estimates. A proposal or connection request does not establish operation.

Linked: a cited public source identifies the facility, and the state, county and resource both accounts give agree.More capacity from existing generators; the request did not create them.
BPA: on-line January 2008, reduced from 100 MW. The phase added turbines, but EIA carries all three phases as one unit dated 2002-09, so in EIA's account the request raised an existing unit's capacity; no request-to-operation time is computed
Identified by Energy Northwest: the Nine Canyon Wind Project southeast of Kennewick, 63 turbines, 95.9 MW; phase III's 14 turbines entered commercial operation in spring 2008 ↗· 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request is a request for interconnection service, not a plant: many requests can describe one facility, requests are withdrawn or restudied, and an energized request does not name the operating plant.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.

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.
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request is a request for interconnection service, not a plant: many requests can describe one facility, requests are withdrawn or restudied, and an energized request does not name the operating plant.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.
Facility identities as stated by the BPA, agency, commission, utility or developer page cited on each row
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.

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.
