# Queue Churn Ledger

What the monthly ERCOT queue net change hides: gross entries and exits, first-time versus returning entries, exit reasons, entrant maturity, and fuel contribution — a reconciled month-over-month ledger of the detailed-project universe.

Comparison: 2026-06 to 2026-07. Scope: ERCOT Large Gen detailed-project universe.

## Reconciliation

| Step | Capacity |
| --- | ---: |
| Previous detailed capacity | 433,705.3 MW |
| First-time entries | 8,338.4 MW |
| Returning entries | 2,823.4 MW |
| Continuing-project capacity revisions | 554.6 MW |
| Commercial-operation exits | −2,007.3 MW |
| Confirmed cancellations | −1,766.4 MW |
| Inactive exits | −1,634.6 MW |
| Unexplained exits | −100.5 MW |
| Current detailed capacity | 439,912.8 MW |

Net: 4 projects / 6,207.5 MW. Gross movement: 16,670.6 MW.

## Entries

| Measure | Projects | Capacity |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Total entries | 30 | 11,161.8 MW |
| First-time | 27 | 8,338.4 MW |
| Returning | 3 | 2,823.4 MW |
| Pre-IA | 29 | 10,885.0 MW |

## Exits

| Reason | Projects | Capacity |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Commercial operation | 11 | 2,007.3 MW |
| Confirmed cancellation | 8 | 1,766.4 MW |
| Inactive | 6 | 1,634.6 MW |
| Unexplained | 1 | 100.5 MW |

An exit is not necessarily a cancellation. A project can leave the detailed universe by commissioning, by cancellation, or for reasons the public report does not explain. Unexplained exits are preserved as unexplained rather than guessed.

## Fuel contribution to net change

| Fuel | Net capacity change |
| --- | ---: |
| Battery | -1,462.5 MW |
| Gas | 5,751.5 MW |
| Hydro | 0.0 MW |
| Nuclear | 0.0 MW |
| Oil | 0.0 MW |
| Other | 0.0 MW |
| Solar | 213.0 MW |
| Wind | 1,705.6 MW |
