Transmission interconnection has stopped being a delay and become the single biggest point of failure in a developer’s portfolio. Study outcomes shift without warning, timelines are indeterminate, and the few transmission-feasible sites left are fiercely contested as data center load consumes transmission capacity.
This panel discussion brings three vantage points on the same problem into one room: a transmission owner/grid-operator voice explaining how the transmission queue works and how study decisions get made; a developer who screens sites for transmission viability before sinking cost; and an interconnection engineer who drives projects through the queue to serve large loads at transmission voltage.
Attendees leave knowing how to read a site’s transmission interconnection viability early, plan around study and network upgrade uncertainty, and engineer through the queue, plus the questions to ask before they ever enter it.
