ERCOT Interconnection Queue

Electric Reliability Council of Texas · every queued generator and load position, from the same interconnect_queue feed our REST API and MCP tools serve. Queue positions through 2033-06-15.

454.5 GWGeneration queue, as of 2026-08-31 (ERCOT published)
1,929 / 463.4 GWListed with project-level detail (ERCOT GIS file positions / GW)
32.6 moTypical time-to-power (filings-derived)

Methodology: counts include every queued position; historically most queued MW never reaches commercial operation. "Active" excludes withdrawn / cancelled / terminated / suspended / in-service statuses. The Queue date column is ERCOT's projected commercial operation date, not the date the project entered the queue.

The 454.5 GW generation queue is ERCOT's published total (as of 2026-08-31). The tables below sum only the positions listed with project-level detail in ERCOT's GIS file, so they do not add up to that total. Large-load requests (~474 GW, June 2026) are a separate queue: ERCOT large load.

Query this queue programmatically.

REST: GET /api/v1/interconnection-queue/by-iso?iso=ERCOT · MCP: get_interconnection_queue / get_refined_queue at dchub.cloud/mcp. Free tier works keyless; public pricing raises the caps, or talk to sales for bulk export.
