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 kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeGeneration 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.
