Unlocking the Queue to Double Regional Renewable Energy Capacity

Unlocking the Queue study was conducted by The Brattle Group, with input from the WATT Coalition and funding from GridLab, EDF Renewables North America, NextEra Energy Resources, and Duke Energy Renewables. The study’s sophisticated model demonstrates that dynamic line ratings, advanced power flow control, and topology optimization could enable Kansas and Oklahoma to integrate 5,200 MW of wind and solar generation currently in interconnection queues by 2025, more than double the development possible without the technologies.
