Deliverable = signed interconnection agreement, in service by 2028, merchant (reconciled from the ISO's own queue). Existing and planned from EIA-860M.


NYISO is the clearest case of a closed door for new gas. It has about 24 GW of existing gas, but its interconnection queue contains no gas projects at all. The queue is renewables, storage, and transmission. New York's climate law effectively rules out new gas generation, so the deliverable figure is not small, it is zero.

For a data center needing firm gas, New York is not a supply market. Firm power there depends on the existing fleet, transmission, storage, and imports, under a policy regime actively working to reduce thermal generation.

Like California, the NYISO question worth analyzing is not where the new gas is, because there is none, but how a decarbonizing grid absorbs large new loads. That is a demand-side and transmission question, not a gas-supply one.
