The two largest projects completed in the third quarter and connected to the grid were both 500 MW — an Enel Group project in Texas, and a NextEra project in Nevada, according to S&P Global.
S&P Global also noted an ongoing “scramble among developers” to secure positions for their projects in interconnection queues, caused in part by the massive financial incentives for clean energy included in the Inflation Reduction Act.
“As of the end of the quarter, the five-year pipeline for new solar energy projects was nearly 204 GW,” the report said.
