Generator Interconnection Scorecard
Prepared with Grid Strategies for Advanced Energy United with funding from the Advanced Energy Institute
There are over two million megawatts of generation and storage projects actively seeking to connect to the US transmission grid, a backlog caused in large part by grid interconnection processes that observers have characterized as dysfunctional. These generator interconnection processes have been well-scrutinized over the past few years across the US power system due to the significant delays and limits set on new resources seeking to interconnect. Each grid operator’s interconnection process is different, and the hurdles to improvement vary
accordingly.
The 2024 Advanced Energy United Generator Interconnection Scorecard is the first-ever attempt to evaluate each of the seven regional transmission system operators (Regions) on their generator interconnection processes.
