Improved Application Process Streamlines Interconnection of New Distributed Energy Resources for PG&E Customers
PG&E today announced an improvement to their interconnection application process enabled by GridUnity’s Interconnection Lifecycle Management software. This improvement follows a 2020 hosting capacity refresh using GridUnity’s Hosting Capacity Analysis software, which increased available DER interconnection capacity by almost 400%.
According to PG&E:
These new and improved features now give our customers a direct line-of-sight into grid data and real-time project status, making it simpler and more intuitive for applicants to take action and move projects forward,” said Joe Bentley, senior vice president, electric engineering, PG&E. “We’re providing deeper data and greater transparency for our customers to make the most informed decisions that help bring right-sized renewable energy resources onto the grid in the right places. Ultimately that maximizes the use of our customer-funded infrastructure, significantly contributes to system reliability, and helps California reach its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2045.
