What this shows
What this View shows
This is Ask the Grid's mirror of SPP'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
SPP's queue is where the wind belt's next build-out is visible first, and storage requests are now competing for the same constrained positions. Reading it by county and technology shows where development interest is concentrating along the market's north-south spine.

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?+
SPP's official active 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 SPP 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 SPP workspace — the same save/restore system behind a personal saved view.
