This is fantastic news. Congratulations to all the activists who have fought so hard for this for so many years! This means positive transformations not just for Cambridge but for the entire region. If you had a hand in this, cheers.

I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge.

We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the USβ€”legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style

Here’s the details 🧡

For us grid newbies out there what equipment is being shown in video? just curious from a engineering point of view!

Had same thing going for NYP -> BOS a few days ago :-/ . 1 in 3 is pretty high! I’d say > 90% on time for me on Northeast Regional…

Wow too funny- I used to do track trail runs in that area in high school!

My @snipd.bsky.social unwrapped for this year: Can you tell it was an election year 😬😬😬?

P.S. In case you are curious, this is my workflow for using snipd as my main podcast player -> double tapping airpods to take a note -> sending notes to Readwise: www.quora.com/How-do-you-t...

Interesting juxtaposition - What’s your hypothesis? Will also ask some folks I know who worked on the clock…

✨ Feature announcement ✨ - interconnection.fyi now shows all queue changes within the last week. We already pull data from all ISOs and 20 utilities at least once a day, this feature will allow you to see the most recent changes as well.

- Breakdown by generation type of in-queue capacity
- Breakdown by generation type and power market
- Planned capacity entering the queue in 2023 declined after several years of growth (most of this can be attributed to MISO and CAISO's stopping taking requests)

State of interconnection queues- Jan 2024

At least 1.3 TW of capacity in queues (300 GW currently in operation).

Source: interconnection.fyi aggregates interconnection queue data across all the major RTOS and 20 utilities in the U.S. with daily updates.

no bombardment at all :D appreciate the feedback and thoughts- I'm still learning this space and using this tool as a way to do that :D

Ah okay that makes sense! So I have at least daily historical data starting from when I made this tool - but yeah unable to go back in time haha.

realizing now- is the term "queue" confusing when referring to completed/withdrawn projects?

This is related to the previous question- there are a decent number of projects who have withdrawn but are still in various ISO queues (usually it's another tab of the spreadsheet they offer). example: www.interconnection.fyi/project/miso...

- If you mean "do you have a snapshot in time of what the active queue was like on Jan 1, 2022 (or other date), the answer is no, although I can probably reconstruct it based on completion date and such in the withdrawn and completed/operational project lists

Good question! I don't know exactly what you mean by old queue:
- if you mean completed projects in the queue- they're there for most of them (see www.interconnection.fyi?status=Opera... and www.interconnection.fyi?status=Withd... for operational projects and withdrawn projects respectively)

I would assume a lot of the European data is public as well? Here's the one from the UK: www.nationalgrideso.com/data-portal/... . If you have any countries you'd like to take a look let me know!

I keep reading about how interconnection queues are a big impediment to clean energy deployment. I made a site to track interconnection queues across all the ISOs and a few utilities as well. Data is updated daily.

LMK what you think! interconnection.fyi
