Examining Interconnection Challenges in the Southeast

Wednesday, April 17, 2024
11:30 AM – 12:20 PM ET
Location: C202 - C204, Level 2, Building C
This session will explore both transmission and distribution, and investigate how utilities decide what lines to upgrade, who pays for those upgrades, and how renewables play a factor into these decisions. Developers will learn how utilities are working with developers to site projects in areas with line and substation capacity, and what plans and changes are in place to make it easier to interconnect DG and utility-scale projects to the grid.
