1,111 GW of large-load interconnection requests sit in active queues across 7 US ISOs as of Q1 2026 — 20% is tied to data centers and AI clusters. Below: per-ISO totals and top BUILD subregions (shorter queues, faster Time-to-Power).

How DCPI uses queue data

Queue position and length, combined with signed-contract load growth and retiring asset capacity, feed the DCPI Excess Power score (BUILD signal in markets where the queue is quiet relative to available headroom) and Constraint score (CAUTION/AVOID where backlog drives Time-to-Power past 17-24 months). Refreshed daily from the 7 major ISOs. → Open DCPI
