What moved in the CAISO queue

CAISO publishes the waiting list of power projects as it stands today and overwrites the last one. We kept 30 dated copies, so here are the projects that moved between them.

  • CAISO runs the power grid in California.
  • We hold 30 dated copies of the CAISO file, the first from 11 Jun 2026 and the newest from 29 Aug 2026, and 68,340 dated project rows inside them. The newest copy lists 2,278 projects.
  • Where those projects sit, by count: California 2,076, Nevada 104, Arizona 72, Mexico 18, Idaho 2.
  • 1 project in the CAISO queue moved between our newest copy and the newest copy at least a week older than it (21 Aug 2026 → 29 Aug 2026). We do not answer this with our last two copies any more: the newest two we hold are CAISO 1 day apart, and finding nothing over one day is much weaker evidence than finding nothing over a week.
  • One day we asked and came back with nothing usable: on 22 Aug 2026 the server answered with an error (503). We sealed no copy for that day, so it is skipped rather than compared against, and the rows either side of it are compared to each other.
  • Worth knowing before you build this yourself: we hold 30 dated copies of the CAISO file, so there are 29 gaps between them. The file itself came back different across 28 of those gaps, but a project had actually moved in only 9. Saving the files is the easy half. Telling which projects moved is the work.

Real rows out of our sealed copies

These are rows we read out of dated copies we keep ourselves. The live source shows today only, so once a row moves, what it said before is gone from the place you would go to look.

12 of 17 moves we hold for the CAISO queue, newest first — the file you buy carries all of them each row names its own two dates

Who published the data on this page

  • Every row on this page was published by a grid operator, not by us. Written out in full, they are the California ISO. We keep dated copies of their public queue files; the projects, the names and the wording inside those rows are theirs.
  • This file uses material published by the California ISO.
  • Copyright © 2026 California Independent System Operator. All rights reserved.
  • Their terms say "Most of the materials", not all. This file does not claim the Public Queue Report is inside that "Most".

What this page cannot tell you

  • We read no in-service date out of the CAISO file: the column is empty on 2,278 of the 2,278 rows in our newest copy. So a CAISO move here is a status change or an entry or exit, never a date. If in-service dates are what you are buying this for, say so at operations@ustechautomations.com before you pay, because for CAISO we do not hold them.
  • The operators write the same fuel differently — Solar, SOL, SUN and S all appear for the same thing. The fuel column is our reading of their labels, not their own count, and a label we are not sure of is shown as not clear rather than guessed at.
  • A move here means two dated copies of the same public file disagree. It is not a decision, an approval, or a filing. If you need to know why a project moved, the operator is the place to ask, not us. Email operations@ustechautomations.com and we will send you both dated copies so you can check ours.

See the file before you pay

You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 17 rows of the real thing, carrying all 9 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.

  • Open the 17 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
  • The same 17 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.

What arrives after you pay: a person emails you the whole file as a CSV — the same plain spreadsheet as the sample file above, not a login and not a web page — within one working day of your payment.

What you would be paying for: $49 a month, billed monthly, for dated what-moved files of the California ISO interconnection queue only. Not the Southwest Power Pool, not ISO New England, not the New York ISO, and not a four-queue blend. One file a week, built from daily seals. A week with no tracked-field moves is still sent: added 0, removed 0, changed 0, plus the two content hashes of the workbooks compared. This file uses material published by the California ISO. Copyright © 2026 California Independent System Operator. All rights reserved. Their terms say "Most of the materials", not all. This file does not claim the Public Queue Report is inside that "Most". Cancel any month by email, with no account to close and no notice period. After you pay, a person emails you the first California ISO what-moved file as a CSV within one working day, then a new one every week for as long as the subscription runs. Each file names the two sealed dates compared. If we could not collect that week, the file says so rather than repeating itself.

These 17 rows are a slice of the file, not the whole of it. What we cannot show you here is how far back it goes: that is the part you are paying for.
