Stuck in the Queue | Suspensions Are Higher Than You Think
Interconnection queue durations across independent system operators (ISOs) have lengthened and the proportion of projects successfully reaching completion is shrinking. To explore this in detail, Enverus Intelligence® Research captures the average duration of each phase in a project’s lifecycle, the delays encountered at each stage and suspension trends across the project lifecycle. Variations in the […]
Finalizing the 45V PTC | Too Little, Too Late
The finalized 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit provides clarity and incremental flexibility for electrolytic (green) and methane-derived (blue) hydrogen developers but may still fall short of revitalizing the industry. The latest rules allow electrolytic producers to utilize retiring nuclear power, although data centers and tech buyers are likely to outprice this option, in our opinion. Delaying […]
