These are candidates before Voltane's screening filters (flood, wetlands, protected land, distance to 138 kV) and before any project type is chosen. The map shows how many pass for solar, storage or hybrid.

Queued MW show where other developers have asked to connect. They are a competition signal, not a measure of grid room, and many queued projects are never built.
