BPA interconnection queue: project map and status
Explore published generation requests across BPA's Northwest region. Compare requested MW, technology and project status, then open the queue map to investigate the grid around a county.
See it on the live BPA map, updating as the market publishes.

The table uses BPA's Interconnection Queue Output, preserving project identifiers, requested capacity, technology, status and proposed completion dates where published. Active records appear before historical records, with larger requests first within each group.
Explore requested capacity by county
Open the BPA queue map to compare counties and project technologies alongside transmission lines, substations and other grid layers. Project locations are represented at county level. Requested MW describes a connection request; it does not establish operating capacity or available grid headroom.
Questions
Is requested MW the same as operating capacity?
No. Queue capacity is the amount requested for interconnection. It is not installed, operating, accredited, approved, or likely-to-complete capacity, and it does not establish available transmission headroom.
Does this include BPA's load and line requests too?
No. BPA runs generation and line-and-load requests as two separate queues. This view shows the generation queue only, so requested load service and new line requests never add to the generation capacity shown here.
Why do some projects show no requestor or project name?
BPA withholds the requestor and project name for many requests until late in its process, so most study-stage and withdrawn rows carry neither field. This is a BPA publication choice, not a gap in Ask the Grid's ingestion.
How precise is the project location shown?
BPA's public feed does not publish exact project geometry, so Ask the Grid joins projects to counties and places map interactions at county centroids. A named point of interconnection is useful location evidence, not a thermal-loading or feasibility measurement.
Will the map open with these layers?
Yes. It carries the same layers, filters, viewport, and timeline state shown on this page into the live BPA workspace.
