Support strategic decision-making for interconnection projects, advising on cost allocation, congestion risks, and mitigation strategies. Build relationships and liaise with utilities to develop creative solutions and secure favorable access to the grid. Develop analytical tools and displays to examine the status and dynamics of distribution grids. Interpret technical studies provided by utilities and advise on potential project downsizing to secure quick and inexpensive access to the grid. Review pre-applications and advise the project development and land acquisition teams regarding interconnection viability at prospective sites. Review and manage interconnection contracts and provide information to de-risk projects, facilitate utilities’ to drive desired outcomes, and reduce project risk and costs. Suggest flexible interconnection arrangements to utilities/grid operators (e.g. curtailment) and enable larger capacity project development with less expensive upgrades. Participate in interconnection working groups hosted by utilities and public utility commissions and stay current with latest developments in interconnection procedures. Track & influence transmission policy changes, supporting Government Affairs in interconnection advocacy.
