Project pipeline data for energy developers and IPPs
FieldProspects gives energy developers and independent power producers one view of 8,057 planned U.S. power projects totaling 1,547.4 GW, filterable by grid, technology, county and year, beside the operating fleet. A developer is named on 50.8% of planned projects, so competitor views cover named projects only.
Data as of
A queue position is only as good as the queue around it. The steps below size the grid you plan to enter, show when its projects say they will be built, and name the companies and people already in it.
Everything on this page is a total. The project rows behind each total are in the database, not on this site.
What is an interconnection queue?
An interconnection queue is the list of generation and storage projects that have asked a grid operator for permission to connect and are waiting to be studied. A project stays in the queue until it connects or drops out.
Step 1: Size the grid you are entering
The seven grid operators below hold 7,491 of the 8,057 planned projects in the database. ERCOT is the largest at 532.2 GW across 2,359 projects, 2.92 times its 182 GW of operating capacity. ISO-NE is the smallest of the seven at 16.9 GW.
The last column counts planned capacity with a stated in-service year from 2026 through 2028. It is the date written in the queue record, not a forecast of when anything will connect.
| Grid operator | Planned projects | Planned capacity | Operating capacity | Planned MW per operating MW | Expected 2026 to 2028 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ERCOT | 2,359 | 532.2 GW | 182 GW | 2.92 | 319.6 GW |
| MISO | 1,684 | 301.4 GW | 217.3 GW | 1.39 | 153 GW |
| PJM | 1,492 | 260.3 GW | 230 GW | 1.13 | 78.7 GW |
| CAISO | 780 | 186.2 GW | 100.3 GW | 1.86 | 81.2 GW |
| SPP | 669 | 129.4 GW | 104.8 GW | 1.23 | 54.6 GW |
| NYISO | 376 | 44.4 GW | 45.8 GW | 0.97 | 22.2 GW |
| ISO-NE | 131 | 16.9 GW | 39.3 GW | 0.43 | 11 GW |
Step 2: Read the calendar, not just the total
2028 carries the most stated capacity of any single year: 337 GW across 1,560 projects. Another 1,079 projects, 161.9 GW, still show an in-service year earlier than 2026 while listed as planned, and MISO alone has 567 of them.
Use the year filter in the Planned table to isolate one cohort, for example every project that says it will be in service in 2028.
| Stated in-service year | Planned projects | Planned capacity | Share of planned capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earlier than 2026 | 1,079 | 161.9 GW | 11% |
| 2026 | 1,126 | 140.8 GW | 9.6% |
| 2027 | 1,479 | 242.6 GW | 16.5% |
| 2028 | 1,560 | 337 GW | 22.9% |
| 2029 | 992 | 234.2 GW | 15.9% |
| 2030 | 624 | 162.3 GW | 11% |
| 2031 and later | 278 | 113.9 GW | 7.7% |
| No date stated | 353 | 78.1 GW | 5.3% |
Step 3: Find the developers already in it
Filter the Planned table to your grid and sort by developer to see who holds capacity there. A developer is named on 50.8% of planned projects and 7.6% of operating ones, so any ranking of developers ranks named projects only.
On that basis the largest planned pipeline belongs to NextEra Energy, with 191 projects and 36.8 GW. Invenergy follows with 27.1 GW and Intersect Power with 25.3 GW. The Developers table sets each company's pipeline against what it has already delivered.
Step 4: Reach the people
The Contacts table lists 24,750 people at 406 companies, and 297 of those company names match 296 companies in the Developers table. Filter by seniority and state, then export the list to CSV or Excel.
