Interconnection is where many solar projects stall. Understanding the study process, common bottlenecks, and how to de-risk your queue position can save months of delay.
Connecting a generation asset to the grid is one of the most consequential — and most misunderstood — steps in project development. A strong project can lose its economics entirely if interconnection costs or delays come in higher than modeled.
Queue congestion, transformer lead times, and network upgrade cost-sharing are the three issues that most frequently derail timelines. Submitting a complete application with accurate site data is the single best way to avoid being kicked to the back of the study queue.
We screen sites for hosting capacity before acquiring control, maintain relationships with utility interconnection teams, and structure financing to absorb reasonable upgrade contingencies. That discipline is why our active pipeline projects hold accepted interconnection applications already in study.
