Queue Timeline
How much of the Texas grid queue is real?
ERCOT publishes how much power large users have asked for. We compare it, week by week, with what has been approved, what is actually running, and what shows up in public construction records, then show what that means for when a new project could connect.
Of every 100 MW asking to join the Texas grid, only 1.9 MW is approved to connect and 0.2 MW shows up in public construction records.
