US -  Renewables' predominance on the current waiting list looks ahead to a cleaner power grid, says article from Bloomberg

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a study on the project connection queue for the nation's grids, showing just how much new power companies want to build, what type of power and where. Today, developers of more than 10,000 energy projects are asking grid operators for permission to connect to their networks. All told, the projects represent more than 2 terawatts of total power generation -- about 50% more than current generation capacity. Almost all of this is wind, solar or battery energy storage.

There is enough planned capacity for additional power generation in the US to transform the country's electricity system. Achieving that depends less on new technology to generate and store power than it once did. Planning and transmission wires are now the biggest determinants of what gets built, where and when. The Inflation Reduction Act has unleashed billions of dollars for ramping up clean energy generation; the next, monumental challenge is building projects and power lines in time for the US to decarbonize the grid by 2035, the Biden administration's target.
