Grid Interconnection Reimagined

Time: 2:30 PM - 3:15 PM
Date: 25 March 2026

Synopsis

  • Grid regulators MISO, SPP, and PJM will publish incremental accreditation and interconnection process tweaks. That will shift which durations and configurations clear.
  • How can developers, data center offtakers, grid operators, and regulatory actors, in particular, work together to create a more efficient environment for interconnecting?
  • Optimising processing of interconnection studies that have long brought delays and uncertainty in the grid interconnection application process
  • Does the policy landscape require a rethink if one of the byproducts in removing tax credit opportunities for wind and solar developers consequently mean projects are withdrawing their applications to connect to the grid?
