Interconnection Queue
get_interconnection_queueGet queued generation capacity (GW) per ISO and ERCOT's data-center large-load queue (225+ GW in process) for AI/data-center load saturation and site-selection intel.
Instructions
ISO interconnection queue snapshot: total queued GENERATION capacity (queued_load_total_gw, GW) per ISO from each ISO's public queue. For ERCOT it ALSO returns the large-load (data-center-driven) interconnection queue in queued_load_data_center_gw — >225 GW in process / ~9 GW approved-to-energize (ERCOT's published Q1-2026 figure; ERCOT is the only ISO that publishes a comparable large-load feed, so other ISOs' data_center_gw is null), with provenance in top_subregions. Sources: ERCOT GIS + Large Load Integration, PJM/MISO/SPP/CAISO/NYISO/ISO-NE public queues. Pass iso=ERCOT (or any of 7) to drill down. ★ The projects field CHANGES SHAPE with the call: with iso= it is an ARRAY of per-project rows; with iso omitted it is the all-ISO SUMMARY OBJECT {total, tracked, by_iso_count, top, note} and carries no per-project rows — check the type before indexing. Use for queue-depth site-selection and AI/data-center-load saturation intel (the ERCOT 225 GW number is the headline large-load figure no other source surfaces machine-readably). Do NOT use for a single-site time-to-power read (use get_grid_intelligence) or forward-looking emergence (use grid_transition_radar); this is the ISO-level queue snapshot.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| iso | No | ISO/RTO grid region to drill into: ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, SPP, NYISO, ISONE; omit for the all-ISO snapshot |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| v | No | Verification flag for the snapshot | |
| iso | No | ISO/RTO this snapshot covers (per-ISO drill-down form) | |
| as_of | No | Queue snapshot date | |
| quota | No | Caller quota state (remaining calls, tier) when available. | |
| _entity | No | Payload class discriminator (e.g. facility|market|iso_grid|queue_results|deal|report|response) — branch on this before parsing the rest. | |
| citation | No | Machine-readable citation: how to attribute DC Hub (dchub.cloud) for this payload. Normally an OBJECT {source, url, license, cite_as, retrieved_at}; a bare string is accepted and carries the attribution line itself. | |
| projects | No | SHAPE DEPENDS ON THE CALL: with iso= this is an ARRAY of queued generation projects (largest / most recent first); with iso omitted it is the all-ISO SUMMARY OBJECT {total, tracked, by_iso_count, top, note} — per-project rows are not returned for the all-ISO snapshot. Check the type before indexing. | |
| provenance | No | Collection-level provenance block: {source, method, as_of, verification_counts, cite_url_template, license, cite_as}. Quote the verification level when citing. | |
| source_url | No | Queue source URL | |
| _front_door | No | In-band front-door hint (first workflow-entry tool of a session): call plan_query(intent) first for the ordered multi-step plan. | |
| source_name | No | Queue source name | |
| _return_loop | No | Suggested next-session delta call (get_changes since=24h) so you pull only what changed. | |
| project_count | No | Projects in the queue snapshot | |
| top_subregions | No | Provenance / sub-region breakdown for the large-load figure (ERCOT) | |
| queued_load_total_gw | No | Total queued GENERATION capacity in this ISO, GW | |
| new_applications_q_gw | No | New queue applications in the latest period, GW (when published) | |
| new_applications_period | No | Period the new-applications figure covers | |
| site_evaluation_handoff | No | Pre-built follow-up calls (analyze_site / get_water_risk args) when the payload carries coordinates — an array of {tool, parameters, why} entries. | |
| queued_load_dc_share_pct | No | ERCOT only: data-center share of queued load, % | |
| historical_completion_pct | No | Share of queued projects that historically complete, % (when published) | |
| queued_load_data_center_gw | No | ERCOT only: large-load (data-center-driven) queue, GW — null for ISOs that publish no comparable feed |
