Interconnection queue changes in Minnesota

Newest sealed read: 2026-08-06. We read this source about every 7 days. We hold 30 sealed runs going back to 2026-06-11. Collection has paused on the part of this page that sets the date above it: MISO, last copy 6 Aug 2026, and we have not asked for it since. The 284 of these 288 projects that sit in that list stay exactly where they are. The other 4 come from SPP, which we are still reading, and those are current to 29 Aug 2026. Read the date at the top as the date the whole page is complete to, because that is the oldest of them.

This page is not part of the subscription. Over 79 days of collection this queue produced 15 named movers. We keep the dated copies and this page stays here, but we are not selling it, and the weekly file does not include it.
288 power projects in Minnesota sit in the newest copy we hold of each of these waiting lists: MISO, SPP. We hold 30 dated copies covering Minnesota, the first from 11 Jun 2026 and the most recent read on 29 Aug 2026, and 2,866 dated project rows inside them.
The picture on this page is complete only as of 6 Aug 2026. MISO has 284 of the 288 projects in Minnesota — 99% of them — and we have not been able to read that list since then. The rest of the page is current to 29 Aug 2026.
Each operator here has its own newest copy: MISO 6 Aug 2026 (284 projects); SPP 29 Aug 2026 (4 projects).
4 projects in Minnesota moved between our newest copy and the newest copy at least a week older than it (MISO 30 Jul 2026 → 6 Aug 2026). We do not answer this with our last two copies any more: the newest two we hold are SPP 1 day apart, and finding nothing over one day is much weaker evidence than finding nothing over a week.
The biggest single project in Minnesota in the newest copy is Lyon County - Cedar Mountain 345 kV Line Tap at 600 MW.

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 26 moves we hold for Minnesota, newest first — the rest are in the dated copies we keep. None of this page is in the weekly file 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 Southwest Power Pool and Midcontinent Independent System Operator. We keep dated copies of their public queue files; the projects, the names and the wording inside those rows are theirs.
The Southwest Power Pool allows their material to be copied and passed on only with a proper credit, and only outside a commercial publication. So, plainly: this page uses material published by the Southwest Power Pool, and this page is not for sale.
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

This is our last copy of the MISO file. We sealed it on 6 Aug 2026 and we have not asked for it since, so every row and every date here stays exactly where it is. We are not promising you another one. Nothing is trying to fetch it, so nothing here is going to move on its own. If we start reading it again the date at the top changes and you will see it.
SPP publishes no plant name at all. Every SPP row here is a number the operator itself uses — the queue number, like GEN-2024-340. The name column is empty on 826 of the 1,027 rows in its newest copy, and on the other 201 it holds a second study number rather than a name. Both numbers travel in the file you buy. We do not invent a name for a row that has none.
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 we hold

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.

Nothing on this page is for sale. The sample file is free to read, and so is every row on the page above it.

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: the file goes back further than these rows do.

This page is not for sale

Nothing is sold from this page. Email operations@ustechautomations.com. The rows above include material whose publisher permits copying only outside a commercial publication, so nothing is sold from this page. We reply with what we hold for this one, and with what we do not hold.
