A 2.5 TERRAWATT Problem: New Ideas to De-bottleneck the US Clean Energy Interconnection Backlog

The global energy landscape is changing rapidly. As nations push towards decarbonization and electrification, renewable energy projects are sprouting up faster than ever before.  On the demand side, we are seeing growth for the first time in decades with Data Centers and EV Charging continuing to roll out across the world.

Yet, a massive roadblock is threatening the progress—the interconnection queue backlog.

What You Can Expect

Utilities are under immense pressure to reduce interconnection backlogs while integrating more renewable energy sources into the grid. Traditional methods for reviewing and approving substation designs are slow, resource-intensive, and can lead to delays due to non-compliance with utility or industry standards. Join us as we take a look at:

  • What is the interconnect queue and why is it so important that we talk about it?
  • How is generative design helping utilities tackling this challenge?
  • How can utilities improve collaboration with developers through technology to meet our decarbonization objectives?
