Capacity of renewable energy projects in connection queues by development stages, 2022 (Terawatts)
IEA
04 Dec 2023
In 2022, more than 1TW of solar and wind energy projects were in connection queues. A connection queue is the delay between when a request connection for renewable energy is sent and accepted. Solar PV projects lead with around 1.8 TW, followed by wind with 1.1 TW. Bioenergy and hydro projects have minimal capacity while solar PV has the largest capacity across all stages, with most projects in the early stage. Wind projects also have the highest capacity in the early stage, with fewer in the late stage.
