ERCOT queue diligence
Know what is in the queue.
Know what has a commitment signal behind it.
Firm Power Research turns public interconnection filings into source-linked decision briefs for teams evaluating a project, market or competitor set.
First engagement
Test one project claim before you rely on it.
Start with a named county, project set or competitive question. We return a concise evidence trail that shows what the public record supports, what it does not, and what deserves deeper diligence.
ERCOT Project Claim Check
- 01Define the decision
One geography, project set or competitor question.
- 02Trace the records
Project-level filing rows, milestones and disclosed entities.
- 03Test the claim
Separate observed facts, analytical signals and unknowns.
- 04Deliver the evidence
Brief, source table and explicit limits in five business days.
Useful for
- First-pass project and market diligence
- Competitor and developer landscape checks
- Testing a queue claim before deeper underwriting
- Teams without an enterprise power-market platform
Not a substitute for
- Power-flow or transmission studies
- Congestion, basis or nodal-price modeling
- Legal, engineering or investment advice
- A conclusion that a project will be built

ERCOT · Q3 2026
The storage queue after the commitment filter
All 1,187 planned projects in the July filing, screened for two public commitment fields.
230.9 GWScreened

Committed storage signals are scarce across the regional queue
Sixteen counties and 125 project records, with a clear boundary: this is a queue comparison, not a statement of power availability.
Method
Transparent enough to challenge.
Start at the filing
We preserve project-level rows and state the exact publication date used.
Screen, do not predict
“Screened” means the record shows financial security posted and notice to proceed. It is a stronger public commitment signal, not a completion forecast.
Name the blind spots
Entity parentage, transmission constraints, congestion and physical serviceability require separate work.
Independent by design
A focused research desk, not a black-box platform.
Firm Power Research is an early-stage independent practice led by Michelle Humes. We use public records and reproducible analysis to help smaller teams ask better diligence questions before committing to larger studies or enterprise software.
We do not develop projects, broker sites or take positions in assets we cover.
Start with the decision
What are you trying to verify?
Send the project, portfolio or claim in question. If the public record cannot answer it, we will say so.
