Briefings

RMI data indicates over 2,060 gigawatts of nuclear generation capacity is trapped in U.S. interconnection queues, a backlog that has expanded from two years in 2008 to nearly five years in 2026. This delay prevents new nuclear projects from reaching the grid, significantly limiting the U.S. ability to expand its nuclear utility options despite the technology's advanced capabilities.

Key points

• RMI data reveals over 2,060 gigawatts of nuclear generation capacity is currently trapped in U.S. interconnection queues.
• The typical nuclear project now requires nearly five years to reach the grid, a period that has doubled since 2008.

Context and limitations

Data is sourced from RMI and covers the period from 2008 to 2026, with specific project details and historical comparisons truncated in the provided evidence.
