Interconnection: 3 things renewable developers should know

If you’ve been hibernating for the last two years, you’re waking up to a shockingly different renewable price environment. In your mind, PPAs for wind energy under $40/MWh in North America were forecasted for 2030 and beyond. I understand your confusion. If you want your renewable projects that are currently under development to stand a chance in this new era, you must master all aspects of your project development process and consider the interconnection aspects right from the origination. The key mindsets are: be frugal, be strategic and be shrewd. Interconnection is now considered by developers’ community to be as important as resources, financing and social and environmental licensing.
