ERCOT Queue Intelligence
ERCOT Large Load Queue
The ERCOT interconnection queue currently tracks 426+ GW of pending large-load projects across 1,846 rows. Queue posture and study progression are among the strongest public signals for time-to-power in Texas.

ERCOT queue evidence uses a secondary public mirror of official ERCOT GIS data. Use it as screening-grade decision support only; it does not guarantee parcel-level MW, utility-certified serviceability, interconnection timing, permitting outcomes, or power availability.

What the ERCOT queue tells data center developers
Queue congestion level
Total pending MW and project count indicate how competitive the queue is for new entrants.
Study phase distribution
Whether projects are concentrated in early intake, system impact, or late-stage phases.
Data center project share
How many large-load queue entries are data-center-related vs generation or industrial.
Withdrawal patterns
Withdrawn projects may free capacity or indicate systemic process issues.
Geographic concentration
Where in Texas queue entries cluster — useful for identifying saturated vs underserved zones.
Transmission owner distribution
Which transmission service providers carry the heaviest queue loads.
Public vs paid data
This page provides market-level queue posture and freshness signals. Full row-level queue evidence, county-specific screening, change history, and source appendix are available in the paid Time-to-Power Pack.
Limitations
- Queue position does not guarantee interconnection approval or energization date.
- ERCOT connect-and-manage policy may change — historical fast-track paths are not guaranteed going forward.
- This data uses a public mirror, not direct ERCOT MIS ingestion. Some entries may lag the official GIS report.
- County-level queue attribution depends on project-reported location, which may be approximate.
- This is screening-grade decision support, not a substitute for utility engineering studies.
