As storage evolves into a separate asset and load balancer, standalone projects face lengthy and costly interconnection processes. Cluster studies intended to ease queue backlogs are now also backlogged due to the post-IRA boom. This panel will discuss the categorization of standalone projects by regional entities, their viability and financeability, the impact of the IRA and potential pitfalls.
The anticipated load growth and the retirement of aging plants to meet state mandates create a compelling narrative for expanding battery storage infrastructure. As this demand intensifies, developers are competing to secure the most profitable locations for their storage assets.
Improving Injection Studies With Available Transfer Capacity
Thorough studies are necessary to evaluate feasibility and grid compatibility, with injection studies being pivotal in assessing stability and reliability. Recognizing the resource-intensive nature of this process, we’ve launched Congestion Analytics, a solution aimed at optimizing workflow and cutting injection study costs by as much as 80%.
