• Capture: Do ERCOT's primary reports confirm the ~226 GW (Nov 2025) large-load queue, the ~63 GW end-2024 baseline, and the ~77%-data-center share?
  capture promoted 2026-08-01 · energy, grid, texas, ercot, interconnection
• ERCOT's own board presentation directly confirms the ~226 GW (Nov 2025) and ~63 GW (Dec 2024) large-load queue figures

• ERCOT's large-load interconnection queue grew to roughly 238.6–239 GW by December 17, 2025 — about four weeks after the 226 GW snapshot
  claim seedling Tier 1 2026-08-01 · energy, grid, texas, ercot, interconnection
• ERCOT's own primary source states ~73% of its large-load queue is data centers — not the ~77% figure widely reproduced in trade press
  claim seedling Tier 1 2026-08-01 · energy, grid, texas, ercot, interconnection
• Only about 2% of ERCOT's 226 GW large-load queue had been 'Observed Energized' as of November 2025
  claim seedling Tier 1 2026-08-01 · energy, grid, texas, ercot, interconnection
• In the 1976 'Midnight Connection,' a Texas utility deliberately linked its grid to Oklahoma to force federal jurisdiction, and regulators ordered the link cut within a year
  claim seedling Tier 3 2026-07-11 · energy, grid, texas, oklahoma, ercot
• ERCOT's large-load interconnection queue reached about 226 GW by November 2025 — roughly quadruple a year earlier — with about 73% from data centers and an unknown share of speculative 'phantom load'

• Texas kept its electric grid intrastate to dodge federal regulation under the 1935 Public Utility Holding Company Act, not for engineering reasons

• Do ERCOT's primary reports confirm the ~226 GW (Nov 2025) large-load queue, the ~63 GW end-2024 baseline, and the ~77%-data-center share?
  question answered 2026-07-11 · energy, grid, texas, ercot, interconnection
• Does a primary or scholarly source confirm that Texas kept its grid intrastate to avoid federal regulation under the 1935 PUHCA — and the 1976 'Midnight Connection' details?

• AI's inference-driven power demand is reviving nuclear power, but the US grid interconnection queue may be the real bottleneck
  capture promoted Tier 1 2026-07-09 · energy, nuclear-power, AI-infrastructure, data-centers, grid
• US transmission interconnection queues hold roughly 2,600 GW — more than twice current installed capacity — and average wait times have stretched to about five years

• Do LBNL's 'Queued Up' primary figures confirm the ~2,600 GW queue total and ~5-year median interconnection time?
