What this shows
What this View shows
This is Ask the Grid's mirror of MISO's official generator interconnection queue — every wind, solar, battery, and gas project that has requested interconnection across the market, joined to its county with the operator's own status and proposed completion date.
Why it matters
MISO's queue concentrates the Midwest's wind and solar build-out, and its cycle-based study process makes the county-level picture move in waves. Reading it by county and technology shows where each wave of development interest is actually landing.
MISO interconnection queue — top projects by requested capacity
| Project | County | Technology | Capacity | Status | Queue date | Proposed completion |

What people ask
Is requested MW the same as operating capacity?+
No. Queue capacity is the amount a project has requested to interconnect. It is not installed, operating, or likely-to-complete capacity, and it does not establish available transmission headroom.
Where does this data come from?+
MISO's official generator interconnection queue publication. Ask the Grid mirrors each release and stamps when the operator published it, so every row is attributable to a specific MISO publication.
How precise is the project location shown?+
The public queue does not publish exact project geometry, so projects are joined to counties and map interactions are placed at county level. A named point of interconnection is location evidence, not a feasibility measurement.
Does “Open in Map” restore this exact view?+
Yes. It carries the same layers, filters, viewport, and timeline state shown on this page into the live MISO workspace — the same save/restore system behind a personal saved view.
