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 73 dated copies, so here are the projects that moved between them.

When the two comparison copies have no tracked-field moves, the file holds one coverage row only (the two comparison dates, the row count and content hash of each workbook, and a note on whether every date in between was fetched) and no project rows; a failed or missing source read creates no new dated file and remains an explicit gap.

  • CAISO runs the power grid in California.
  • We hold 73 dated copies of the CAISO file, the first from 11 Jun 2026 and the newest from 14 Oct 2026, and 166,294 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.
  • Nothing in the CAISO queue changed between our newest copy and the newest copy at least a week older than it (7 Oct 2026 → 14 Oct 2026). The table above is the most recent set of moves we do hold, and every row names the two dates it sits between. 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.
  • Two days we asked and came back with nothing usable: on 22 Aug 2026 the server answered with an error (503), and on 9 Sep 2026 the server did not answer. We sealed no copy for those days, 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 73 dated copies of the CAISO file, so there are 72 gaps between them. The file itself came back different across 71 of those gaps, but a project had actually moved in only 21. 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 2,294 moves we hold for the CAISO queue, newest first — the weekly file you buy carries only the moves between its own two comparison copies, not this whole history 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 first read the in-service date out of the CAISO file on 11 Sep 2026, so no copy before that day holds one. It is filled in on 2,260 of the 2,278 rows in our 14 Oct 2026 copy (the other 18 are blank), and a change to it is a move like any other. If in-service dates are what you are buying this for, say so at operations@ustechautomations.com before you pay.
  • 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 25 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 25 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 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.

What arrives after you pay: Stripe sends you to the receipt page. A job that checks for new payments every 10 minutes puts the newest weekly California ISO CSV there and adds each later week's file while your subscription is active; if no weekly file has been built yet, the page says so. It compares successfully collected source copies and names any gaps. A failed source read creates no new dated file. Nobody emails you. The subscriber CSV adds source and coverage columns to the compact preview shown here. A coverage row records the comparison dates and any gaps, including when no changes were observed.

What you would be paying for: $49 a month, billed monthly, for dated what-moved files of the California ISO interconnection queue only. A dated file is built from successful CAISO seals when available. When the two comparison copies have no tracked-field moves, the file holds one coverage row only (the two comparison dates, the row count and content hash of each workbook, and a note on whether every date in between was fetched) and no project rows; a failed or missing source read creates no new dated file and remains an explicit gap. 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, Stripe sends you to your receipt page, where a job that checks for new payments every 10 minutes puts the newest weekly file. A dated CSV appears only after successfully collected source copies; each file names the two sealed dates compared and its source hashes. If an intervening source read fails, the gap is reported and no new dated file is created from that failure.

These 25 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.
