For projects reaching commercial operation during 2025 in regions with available data, Berkeley Lab reports that the median duration from interconnection request to commercial operation exceeded five years.
It also found that only 13% of capacity that submitted interconnection requests between 2000 and 2020 had reached commercial operation by the end of 2025.
SCHINEX Perspective:
Long development and interconnection timelines increase the importance of early technical planning, equipment strategy, procurement scheduling, stakeholder coordination, and disciplined project execution.
