Clean energy developers respond to FERC’s interconnection reform plan

We’re getting a clearer picture of how renewable energy developers and advocacy organizations feel about proposed reforms to generator interconnection being considered by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

Commercial Readiness Requirements

There are 3 parts to the June 2022 FERC NOPR “Improvements to Generator Interconnection Procedures and Agreements.” Commercial readiness requirements are in Part A – Reforms to Implement a First-Ready, First-Served Cluster Study Process. After several rounds of comments in the past six months, on Dec. 16, FERC received the final set of industry comments. We can expect a final order on generator interconnection procedures sometime in early 2023.
