The IRA has accelerated the clean energy transition while simultaneously threatening to overwhelm current transmission infrastructure: interconnection requests have tripled and quadrupled in many markets, while the grid could be overwhelmed by the added demands of transmitting gigawatts of new renewable assets while meeting the loads added by EV charging and electrification.
FERC Order No. 2023 has taken the first step to reform interconnection processes, but its implementation has barely begun, and the future of new policies aimed at reforming transmission planning, cost allocation, and increasing investment is uncertain. When will new market rules be established for interconnection, and what will their impacts be on projects in the existing queue and future developments? Will new DOE programs providing funding for high-voltage transmission projects and encouraging investment in Grid-Enhancing Technologies (GETs) result in substantial increases in regional and interregional transmission capacity? Only those who understand how these massive changes will play out will be able to position themselves to profit optimally under this new regime, whether as a transmission owner or power generation developer.
Transmission & Interconnection Summit 2024 will bring together the policymakers, senior executives and leading experts working to reimagine interconnection and transmission planning processes to meet the needs of the clean energy transition. They will address the implementation of interconnection procedure reforms, as well as potential solutions to optimizing planning processes and more holistically allocating costs based on benefits yielded for both system loads and new generation, including:
Attend Transmission & Interconnection Summit 2024 — after over 20 years, still the only event focusing on the business and business environment of transmission asset investment and development — and get the answers you need to fully participate in the remarkable investment opportunities of the new era.
