Energy Transition

Queue Update | Decoding Project Probabilities

byBrynna Foley

As renewable energy development accelerates, interconnection queues have become increasingly congested with an influx of projects looking to connect to the grid. This surge in requests has outpaced administrative capacity, leading to high levels of project suspension and cancellation.

In our latest report, Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR) valued some of the largest power portfolios, leveraging our proprietary machine learning model to evaluate project viability and risk-adjusted valuations. Our analysis highlights key factors influencing success across the independent system operators, determining project status, developer, type, and planned and suspended capacity at the substation to be valuable across the board. Portfolios with a higher proportion of operational capacity command greater overall value, reflecting developers’ willingness to pay a premium for reduced risk. Since our last queue analysis, developer portfolios have appreciated in value, suggesting progress in the queue and a decline in associated risks.
