Berkeley Lab reports that approximately 549 GW of capacity already had a draft or executed interconnection agreement but had not yet reached commercial operation at the end of 2025.
This included approximately 256 GW of solar, 161 GW of storage, 76 GW of wind, and 45 GW of natural gas, with additional capacity from other resources.
SCHINEX Perspective:
For projects moving beyond development, the challenge increasingly becomes execution—converting approved electrical concepts and interconnection requirements into equipment, construction, testing, and ultimately energized infrastructure.
