GridUnity Take

‍
At GridUnity, we see this story as a reflection of how the interconnection challenge is evolving—and how modern tools are needed to meet it. As utilities and regulators prioritize queue efficiency, data transparency, and proactive study management, our solutions like GridInterConnect and GridSync help streamline processes, improve communication, and enable scalable automation.

This reinforces our belief that accelerating the path from application to approval requires more than policy—it demands purpose-built platforms designed for the complexity of today’s grid.
