Predicting interconnection upgrade costs

October 29, 2024
Salon II, III, IV
Policy and regulation DER Utility scale

11:15 - 12:00 PM EST

Even if a developer is familiar with typical infrastructure and labor rates, the cost to interconnect a project may vary widely from utility to utility. This session will explore how that figure is calculated and the variables that cause prices to fluctuate. Panelists will share examples of utilities offering more price transparency than others and will entertain the idea of a “menu” approach, similar to Hawaiian Electric's unitized price schedules. How do we find the slightest bit of cost certainty in uncertain markets?
