Brattle and Mintz to Co-Host a Webinar on the Challenges and Opportunities of On-site Resources in Accelerating Data Center Interconnection and Reliability

New large loads are increasingly running into delays as they approach the limits for local and even regional transmission capacity. Meanwhile, regulators and grid operators are raising concerns about the reliability and affordability impacts of rapid load growth.

Please join Steven Shparber, Energy Transition Attorney at Mintz, and Andrew Levitt, Senior Consultant at The Brattle Group, for a discussion on the challenges and opportunities of on-site resources in accelerating data center interconnection and reliability. They will examine the role that on-site resources – such as grid-interactive backup generation, load flexibility, and co-location with new primary generation – can play in accelerating new large load connections, improving reliability, relieving the resource adequacy crunch, and reducing grid expansion costs.

Steven and Andrew will also cover:

• The latest developments at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as well as PJM, MISO, and ERCOT – including the potential impact the Texas SB6 bill will have
• What states can do to unlock value from on-site resources
• How developers can begin preparing now to take advantage of opportunities from on-site resources
