Transmission & Interconnection Summit

June 24 - 26, 2025
Arlington, VA

Driven by the Country’s Burgeoning Energy Needs, a Major Upgrade of the American Transmission Grid Is Coming. Hear From Policymakers, Developers, Owners and Users How Trump Administration, FERC and State Policies Will Shape the Unprecedented Coming Transmission Buildout.

After years of flat to minimal demand increases, interconnection requests by large loads indicate that many utility and RTO/ISO service territories will soon need to reliably serve 40-100% more capacity in the near future. Getting that power to where it’s needed from where it’s generated will involve tens of billions of dollars of investment in new and upgraded transmission assets.

The new Administration’s policies will impact every aspect of that national buildout, beginning but not ending with the generation diversity that planners will need to meet. Moreover, FERC Order 1920-A is altering the entire transmission planning and development process. How will these factors impact such urgent priorities as speeding the interconnection of a wave of new generation stalled in queues, and reducing the congestion plaguing many areas of the grid?

Only the players who are best-informed regarding new regional planning, siting, and cost allocation and interconnection processes will be able to seize the top prospects during this revolutionary period of growth and change.

To provide the up-to-date and detailed analysis of these new dynamics that every power industry player needs, Infocast has organized Transmission & Interconnection Summit 2025. This event will continue our decades-long tradition of bringing together the critical policymakers, senior executives, major stakeholders, and leading industry experts who are actively at the forefront of the efforts to provide their insights, different perspectives, and the most authoritative discussion of policies available.

These active market participants will provide a uniquely deep dive into key topics including:

How can the enormous load growth from new data centers and clean energy manufacturing facilities be reliably supplied by the grid?
How will the new FERC Order 1920-A affect transmission planning, cost allocation, permitting, and other critical processes?
How well are FERC Order No. 2023 implementation reforms working in RTO/ISO regions and regulated markets, and how are renewable energy projects in the queues being affected during the transition period
What do state regulators think about their ability to meet increasing demand needs and decarbonization goals via using their expanded role in transmission planning and cost allocation under 1920-A?
What innovative approaches to reducing the time, cost, and labor intensity of interconnection studies and engineering are emerging?
What are the most effective ways to incorporate Grid-Enhancing Technologies (GETs) and reconductoring in transmission plans?
What new large regional transmission buildouts are emerging in energy markets across the country, and who will participate in the tens of billions of dollars of coming investments in transmission projects?
