Introducing GridInterConnect & GridSync: A Bold Evolution for GridUnity

March 24, 2025

A new era has arrived for GridUnity. Today, we unveil not just a refreshed website, but a bold reimagining of how we communicate our mission to unify the interconnection ecosystem. Our new product names—GridInterConnectTM and GridSyncTM—better reflect our core values: intelligence, unification, and empowerment.

Meet GridInterConnect & GridSync


GridUnity's GridInterConnect, formerly Interconnection Life Cycle Manager (ILCM), is the industry’s most comprehensive interconnection management platform for both transmission and distribution. Whether it’s generation interconnection or load connection, GridInterConnect ensures that utilities, RTOs, and developers operate with accurate, real-time data, accelerating approvals and reducing bottlenecks.


For Transmission Owners, GridUnity’s GridSync, formerly Transmission Owner Interconnection Manager (TIM), delivers unparalleled coordination for interconnection studies, cost estimation, and infrastructure upgrades. Designed to integrate with RTO/ISO systems seamlessly, GridSync keeps design and build functions in sync with planning, ensuring that projects move forward efficiently.


Our Core Values: Intelligence, Unification, Empowerment


At GridUnity, our mission is guided by three core values that drive our approach to interconnection modernization:


Intelligence → Providing verified, real-time data for decision-making.
Unification → Ensuring all stakeholders work from the same trusted data, improving coordination.
Empowerment → Enabling faster approvals and execution of interconnection projects.


Solving the Data Problem at the Heart of Interconnection


The interconnection process has long been plagued by inefficiencies—outdated systems, manual processes, and fragmented data. These challenges slow down energy deployment, creating costly delays. GridUnity is solving this by transforming interconnection into a streamlined, data-driven process. As a SaaS company, our platform eliminates silos, ensuring that all stakeholders—from utilities to developers—work from the same trusted dataset.


The DOE Grant & The Power of the Network Effect


GridUnity is leading the charge in interconnection modernization, backed by a $99 million DOE matching grant. This investment accelerates our ability to deliver standardized, scalable solutions across the industry. The more entities that join the GridUnity ecosystem, the more powerful our data network becomes—enhancing visibility, improving decision-making, and driving efficiencies across the grid.


Notably, GridUnity is the only organization committed to investing up to $20 million annually into R&D, harnessing AI-driven solutions to solve interconnection challenges and drive industry-wide transformation.


From Our CEO: A Thank You to Our Partners & A Vision for the Future


“At GridUnity, we are incredibly grateful for the partnerships we’ve built with our customers. Their unique challenges have guided our innovation, allowing us to develop purpose-built solutions that empower them to make data-driven decisions, accelerate interconnection, and bring more energy to the grid faster. As we launch our new brand, we remain steadfast in our mission to unify the interconnection ecosystem and provide intelligent, scalable solutions that transform how energy projects get approved and executed."

Brian Fitzsimons, CEO, GridUnity


Why It Matters: Unifying Grid Interconnection for Faster Energy Deployment


Regardless of the challenge—transmission or distribution, load or generation—GridUnity is committed to providing the energy industry with the tools to make intelligent decisions. By unifying the experience, we bring visibility to all stakeholders, empower utilities and developers to work more efficiently, and ultimately help deliver safe, reliable energy to the grid.


A Market Signal: GridUnity’s Commitment to Interconnection Leadership


This isn’t just a new look; it’s a reaffirmation of our leadership in solving the interconnection challenge. GridUnity is the company that accelerates interconnection by unifying the ecosystem, delivering better data faster, and empowering intelligent decision-making. Our new branding, website, and product names are designed to serve as a sales tool, a market differentiator, and a testament to our commitment to modernizing the grid.
