Connecting to the grid? We support independent power producers (IPPs), independent system operators (ISOs), regional transmission organizations (RTOs), and electric utilities navigate the interconnection process and model, calculate and analyze the impacts.
Utility Services
Our support is grounded in understanding the following key elements.
Electric utility needs, regulatory expectations and utility customer requirements
Decades of collaborative experience means we’re able to approach each project with the knowledge of what utilities require.
Developer needs, drivers and expectations
Consideration of utility and non-utility factors, help deliver cost-effective projects including common issues and optimization of schedules.
Electric utility designs
We design utility grade interfaces that fulfill developer needs while meeting the interconnection requirements of the utility.
Coordination Services
Having worked alongside developers, utilities, ISOs/RTOs, vendors and other organizations, we’re able to collaborate with all parties involved to help each representative navigate the interconnection process to successfully bring assets online.
Interconnection Support Services
