Proposed clean energy projects would produce more electricity than the U.S. currently has—but many fail waiting to be connected to a grid lacking capacity.
—America will need additional energy generation. But for that energy to travel from the source to consumer's homes, a transmission system with the capacity to handle current demand as well as take on that additional power is needed.the"number one reason" for the delays in the interconnection queue—the wait-list for energy projects to be connected to the grid—was limited transmission capacity.
She noted that large energy customers CEBA works with would express an interest in clean energy generation in a particular area and sometimes"literally get nothing back from developers, because those developers know in certain parts of the country the grid is so congested."Newsweek "We are unfortunately attempting to plan the transmission system through the connection process, which doesn't make sense," Gramlich said."What we need to move towards is proactively planning the right system, taking into account where the future generation is likely to be, build the right kind of grid based on that future generation and demand, and then the interconnection process can be quicker and cheaper.
But, he added,"that dynamic and that incentive for project developers to do that itself compounds the problem." "Those inefficiencies are compounded by exploratory connection requests that are based on developers attempting to obtain locations with available transmission capacity." FERC noted that project developers had cited"high interconnection-related network upgrade costs as the primary reason for their withdrawal." Where the same network upgraders were being"repeatedly" identified as projects withdrew from the queue, the next-in-line project was left with the same problems.
