Smarter, Faster Approvals for Generation Interconnection and Load Connection
Ensure data accuracy, automate approvals, and enhance customer service for generation interconnection and load connection requests.
The Complexity of Distribution Interconnection & Load Connection
The Challenge
Utilities face two parallel challenges in managing distribution system evolution:
Interconnection for Generation
The rapid growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and new storage technologies, requires accurate grid modeling and validation to maintain stability. Manual approval processes slow down projects, creating bottlenecks, while regulatory compliance complexities demand real-time tracking and audit trails.
Connection for Load Growth
Rising demand for new service connections—driven by EV charging, building electrification, and industrial loads—has overwhelmed utilities. Coordination gaps between planning, engineering, and customer service teams further delay approvals, while growing customer expectations require faster, more transparent processing.
The Solution
Managing interconnection for generation and connections for load is no longer just a complex process challenge—it’s a near-time data problem.
