NEWS: Here’s a clear-eyed look at grid operators’ interconnection process reforms.

  • Each region has made “meaningful progress” over the past 18 months…but that progress varies, according to a candid new report from Grid Strategies and The Brattle Group.

  • Who’s leading the pack: SPP and CAISO have made “promising improvements,” according to the report, including the former’s Consolidated Planning Process (which has also received high praise from FERC). 

  • Who’s lagging behind: On the other end, the report claims MISO has made “incomplete progress” as study delays (and restudies) pile up. The solution? Ramp up automation to sift through those mountains of documents, the authors suggested.
