NE ISO	2,100 MW	(New England)
NY ISO	6,800 MW	(NY)
PJM	24,500 MW	(Mid-Atlantic states west through northern IN and IL)
MISO	65,500 MW	(most of Midwest)
ERCOT	35,500 MW	(much of TX)
SPP	19,300 MW	(mostly KS and OK, also TX panhandle)
WECC	11,200 MW	(entire western US)
Total	164,900 MW	(within US portion of North American grid)

Numbers are rounded to nearest 100 MW. The numbers may be somewhat inflated owing to occasional multiple interconnection study applications for the same wind energy project (e.g., to evaluate alternative ways to tie into a grid’s transmission system). And, of course, not all of the wind energy projects submitted for interconnection study will be built.
