Interconnection Queue
The application, system-impact study and agreement-signing process that new generation projects must complete to connect to the transmission grid. Surging application volumes and constrained grid capacity often produce multi-year backlogs.
Timeline (last 90 days)
New generation projects in the United States must go through interconnection application, system impact study and agreement signing before connecting to the transmission grid, and queue times in many regions have stretched to several years.
Longer interconnection queue times and slow transmission line expansion are among the core bottlenecks behind the slowdown in renewable energy growth.
