Studies have shown flexible or phased interconnection could save billions of dollars in distribution grid upgrades. However, under a flexible interconnection construct, a generator could be taken offline or adjusted to accommodate real-time grid conditions. Demand for flexible interconnections is growing from Colorado to Illinois and into the Northeast. This session will focus on how project developers can benefit from cost-savings, shorter interconnection times, and a wide range of smart inverter capabilities via this approach. If more widely adopted how should regulators determine the parameters and rules of such a program and how should markets incentivize it?
