1 solar generators tracked by EIA as planned or under construction. TX leads with 0.9 GW. EIA-860 is operating/planned generator inventory — separate from interconnection queue applications.

EIA-860 inventorycomputed just now
1 battery projects in EIA's planned or under-construction inventory

Combined 0.6 GW of grid-scale storage that EIA-860 tracks as planned or under construction. EIA's planned status is a downstream signal — not the same as a developer's interconnection queue request.

371 GW of wind, solar, hydro and geothermal across 7 fuel categories tracked.

Demandcomputed just now
US demand swings 33% peak-to-trough this week

Peak load reached 511.3 GW, trough at 340.7 GW. Operating reserves must absorb the gap.
