US Power Pipeline, by State
This chart compares planned generating capacity and battery discharge capacity across states in the monthly EIA-860M inventory. Batteries remain visible as infrastructure, but their MW are identified separately because storage does not generate energy. Every state uses the same zero-based scale, including Texas. Status controls separate construction started, approvals received, and earlier planning.
Battery MW is discharge capacity, not generation. Combined bar lengths can include co-located resources and are not a completion forecast or interconnection limit.
What does it show?
TX reports 70.1 GW of planned generation and 24.9 GW of battery discharge capacity. It represents 31% of the national planned-generation inventory.
Methodology
Reads the EIA-860M Planned sheet, excludes rows whose status is Operating, retains every other published status, and groups technology only for display. Bars aggregate reported unit-level capacity by state and display technology group. Battery storage is measured by discharge power in MW and is reported separately from generation in headline values. Limitations: Planned capacity is not a forecast of what will be completed. The inventory covers generating and storage units at plants with at least 1 MW of combined nameplate capacity. It excludes transmission, substations, many behind-the-meter systems, and unreported projects. No unit in this dataset is assumed to serve data centers specifically. Monthly EIA-860M observations are preliminary and can be revised or change status.
