active generation + storage in US interconnection queues (end-2025; >1.5x US installed capacity; down from 2,290 GW end-2024)
>2,060 GWobserved
| Value kind | observed — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range. |
|---|---|
| Scope | Generation and storage seeking transmission interconnection — supply-side context, not a large-load service queue. LBNL attributes the year-on-year decline to both withdrawals and fewer new requests and cautions that reform effects are not yet measurable. |

| Source | LBNL Queued Up program data through end-2025 (emp.lbl.gov/queues). The 2025-edition PDF (queued_up_2025_edition_12.15.2025.pdf) is the end-2024 report — 10,303 active projects, 2,290 GW — and is not the source for this end-2025 figure. · Active capacity above 2,060 GW at end-2025, a ~10% decrease on high withdrawal rates alongside relatively fewer new requests |
