The Grid Connection Queue Crisis - Why Data Centers Wait 5 - 10 Years for Power
Data centers are waiting up to ten years just to connect to the power grid. Hosts Alex Chen and Jordan Riley analyze the interconnection queue crisis with current data from PJM, ERCOT, and European markets—examining why timelines have stretched from two years to nearly a decade, what's driving $240/kW network upgrade costs, and which solutions are actually working.
