Why Regulated Utilities Lose More on Uneconomic Power Plants
Business models, not technological constraints, determine whether utilities run money-losing power plants. We offer three solutions for regulators to fix that.
Using Regional-First Planning to Streamline Large Load Interconnection
How to align the large load interconnection process and system-wide transmission planning for maximum impact.
Understanding Large Load Interconnection
An overview of the process that transmission providers and large load customers such as data centers use when a large load customer requests to connect to the electric grid.
Large Loads and Network Upgrades
Large loads are triggering an increasing volume of network upgrades. Addressing those upgrades through a piecemeal interconnection process is inefficient and costly.
Large Loads and System-Wide Transmission
Large loads are driving system-wide transmission investments beyond the load interconnection process.
