“For the past few years an overwhelming number of clean energy requests have rushed into our interconnection queue with a process that was not originally designed for this large volume of requests,” says Manager of Facilities Study, Wenjin Yan. The interconnection queue is an important piece in helping meet the state’s policy goals. In this new video series, we highlight the efforts underway to improve and expedite the connection of more renewable energy to the grid.

Maintaining a reliable electric system through this unprecedented grid transition is essential. Our Stakeholder Services team plays a key role in helping customers, developers, and utilities navigate the interconnection process.“With the rate of change and the volume of projects in the interconnection queue we need to continuously evolve. We examine projects daily alongside our enterprise business process control group to see where we can bring new renewables onto the grid faster and easier,” says Manager of Stakeholder Services Chris Tamasi.
