Query the NYISO generator + load interconnection queue — New York ISO's public waiting line of projects that have REQUESTED to connect to the New York grid. Uniquely among ISOs, NYISO publishes a Load Projects tab — load interconnection requests (large-load / data-center-style demand), served as-reported.
Returns cited, project-level records with NYISO's full published structure across nine lifecycle tabs: summer and winter peak megawatts kept SEPARATE (`sp_mw` = SP, the max summer output; `wp_mw` = WP, the max winter output), the Load Projects tab's `peak_mw_load`, the as-reported study-phase code (`study_status_code`, NYISO's numeric `S` / `Project Status #` legend), the request `record_type` and `project_type`, the `type_fuel` codebook, the energy-storage capability, the NYISO load `zone` (A–K), location (`state`, `county`, derived `county_fips`, `point_of_interconnection`, `utility`), and lifecycle dates (`ir_date`, `last_update`, the milestone dates, and the Year/Qualifier `proposed_cod` kept verbatim). Group or filter by `application_status`, `sheet_name`, `state`, `county_fips`, `study_status_code`, `record_type`, `type_fuel`, `zone`, `utility`, or `studies_available`; filter `ir_date` by the `ir_date_from` / `ir_date_to` range. Pass each parameter as a top-level key of `params` (flat — not nested). Example: `{"application_status": "ACTIVE", "type_fuel": "S"}` for active solar requests; `{"sheet_name": "Load Projects"}` for the load (data-center-relevant) interconnection requests; `{"group_by": ["application_status"]}` for requested MW and project counts by lifecycle. Returns JSON aggregates with citations and optional row-level records when `include_records` is true; every value carries `source`, `as_of`, and a `source_row` verifiable with get_source_evidence_v1.
`sp_mw` / `wp_mw` / `peak_mw_load` are REQUESTED capacity, not built: historically the large majority of queued megawatts withdraw before they are built, so the queue is withdrawn-dominated. NEVER read a queue-MW total as installed or operating capacity — it is additive across distinct project-rows but is a REQUESTED total only. NYISO publishes summer (SP) and winter (WP) peak MW separately — they are served under NYISO's own names and never blended into one nameplate. Scope by `application_status` (ACTIVE / WITHDRAWN / IN_SERVICE / AFFECTED_SYSTEM / AFFECTED_SYSTEM_WITHDRAWN, derived from the lifecycle tab) or by `sheet_name`; the `In Service` tab is the built reading. A project may appear on more than one tab (the grain is sheet + queue_position), so the counts are project-rows, not deduped projects. For built/operating capacity use query_power_capacity_v1.
NYISO only — never summed, deduped, or compared across ISOs. For the MISO interconnection queue use query_power_interconnection_queue_v1; for PJM use query_power_interconnection_queue_pjm_v1 (or query_power_interconnection_queue_pjm_cycle_v1 for PJM's cluster/cycle grid); for the CAISO (California) queue use query_power_interconnection_queue_caiso_v1; for the ISO-NE (New England) queue use query_power_interconnection_queue_isone_v1; for the ERCOT (Texas) queue use query_power_interconnection_queue_ercot_v1; for the SPP (central US) queue use query_power_interconnection_queue_spp_v1. NYISO's Load Projects tab is served as-reported; this tool does NOT infer which projects are data-center-driven — that interpretation is the analyst's, from cited rows.
