DISTRIBUTECH 2025 Recap: A Bold New Era for GridUnity
March 31, 2025
From the moment the doors opened at DISTRIBUTECH 2025, the energy was undeniable—and GridUnity was right at the center of it.
This year marked a major milestone for us. We stepped onto the show floor with a bold new brand, powerful new product names, a headline-making product launch, and a growing community of forward-thinking utilities and transmission owners leading the charge toward smarter interconnection.
A Bold New Identity
We unveiled our updated brand, designed to reflect the scale, speed, and intelligence our platform brings to grid interconnection. As part of this evolution:
- Interconnection Life Cycle Manager became GridInterConnect — streamlining the full interconnection lifecycle for both generation and load.
- We formally launched GridSync — delivering real-time interconnection intelligence for transmission owners.
We are signaling to the market that it’s time for interconnection to operate at the speed of the grid.

GridSync Launch: Real-Time Interconnection Intelligence
At DISTRIBUTECH, we officially launched GridSync, a new solution purpose-built to give transmission owners real-time visibility into the state of their interconnection queues.
Built-in alignment with FERC’s latest guidance on automation and transparency, GridSync empowers engineering teams and planners to:
- Automate study processes
- Prioritize project readiness
- Track queue status in real-time
With the GridUnity platform, utilities no longer have to choose between speed and accuracy—they can have both.
New Utility Partner: Southern Company
We proudly announce that Southern Company has selected the GridUnity platform to streamline its large-generation interconnection process.
Southern joins a growing list of innovative utilities leveraging our technology to reduce interconnection delays, increase transparency, and enable smarter decision-making across their teams.
In the News
Our presence didn’t just turn heads on the show floor. GridUnity was featured in national energy and technology outlets, with coverage focused on how our platform is helping utilities accelerate and modernize their interconnection workflows:
- E&E News: “Tech aims to cut years off grid wait times”
- PV Magazine: “Federal regulator recommends using automation to speed interconnection”
- Latitude Media: “Phantom data centers are flooding the load queue”
- FERC Commissioner Rosner: Advocated for interconnection automation in letters to ISOs and RTOs
- Renewable Energy World: “GridUnity unveils new tool for transmission owners to manage stuffed interconnection queues”
We’re honored to be part of a growing conversation about the future of interconnection—and proud to be delivering solutions that make that future possible.
Connections That Matter
Beyond the announcements and the media buzz, what stood out most was the energy on the floor. We had powerful conversations with current partners, met visionary leaders from across the utility and transmission space, and gave away an iPad Pro to one lucky attendee. The interest in smarter, faster, more transparent interconnection has never been greater—and we’re ready to meet the moment.
What’s Next?
As we look ahead, we’re focused on continuing to expand our platform’s capabilities, partnering with more forward-leaning utilities and transmission owners, and bringing true visibility and efficiency to the interconnection lifecycle—from application intake to energization.
