on Interconnection queuesNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Interconnection queue problems continue to persist.
“The problems still persist”

Open the episode · Building America’s new power grid: Can the transmission network grow to keep pace with rising electricity demand?
on Interconnection queues and regional transmissionNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Interconnection queues and insufficient regional transmission constrain needed electricity supply.
“the supply that's needed to meet that demand is stuck. It's stuck in the queues, and it's also stuck because we are still not building the amount of regional transmission that's needed to connect those new resources.”

on Interconnection costsNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Developers generally cannot know interconnection costs before entering queues.
“you don't know what the cost that you're going to be faced. until you're in the queue itself.”

on Interconnection and network-upgrade costsNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Interconnection and network-upgrade costs can comprise a large share of project costs.
“those costs could be a huge fraction of your overall project cost”
Listen at 45:55
Open the episode · Building America’s new power grid: Can the transmission network grow to keep pace with rising electricity demand?
on Interconnection costsNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Unexpected $20–30 million connection costs can make a project economically unviable.
“a surprise 20, 30 million that you see in your results could tell you that this project is no longer viable.”

on Project submissions to interconnection queuesNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Developers must submit many projects because interconnection costs remain uncertain.
“we sort of have to”

on Interconnection cost certaintyPositiveOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Greater upfront cost certainty would improve developers’ project-submission decisions.
“If we had more cost certainty ahead of time, we can make a more sound economic decision about which projects to submit”

on Interconnection clustersNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Larger interconnection clusters increase upgrades, modeling difficulty, and cost uncertainty.
“the bigger the cluster gets not only the larger the upgrades are but the harder it is for those models to solve and the more uncertain those costs are”

Open the episode · Building America’s new power grid: Can the transmission network grow to keep pace with rising electricity demand?
on Interconnection cluster costsNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
When projects exit clusters, their assigned costs transfer to remaining projects.
“if eventually you know 70 of those projects drop out The costs that were associated or assigned to those projects now get transferred to the projects that remain.”

on Interconnection cluster costsNegativeOct 27, 2026· Energy Gang
Transferred costs create large unexpected expenses for remaining projects.
“that transfer becomes, again, a big surprising cost”
