DESCRIPTION:With the United States' ambitious renewable energy goals\, the 
 demand for large-scale (>20MW) generator interconnection (GI) services has
  increased significantly\, leading to longer interconnection queues and lo
 nger wait times for developers. Understanding how large-scale projects are
  studied in the interconnection process is crucial for developers\, policy
  makers\, and other stakeholders involved in the renewable energy sector. 
 Transmission Service Providers (TSPs) are responsible for studying and eva
 luating large-scale generator interconnection requests to ensure the safe 
 and reliable integration of new energy resources into the electric grid. T
 SPs use a variety of technical studies to evaluate the impacts of large-sc
 ale GI requests. These processes and technical studies can vary by region 
 and can significantly impact the feasibility of a renewable energy project
 .\n\nThis presentation will provide a high-level overview of the interconn
 ection processes for large-scale generator projects in the United States. 
 We will explore a variety of different study practices\, including those i
 n MISO\, PJM\, SPP\, ERCOT\, and TSPs in the Western Interconnect. The pre
 sentation will also touch base on challenges TSPs are experiencing with th
 e volume of GI requests in queues across the country.\n\nCo-sponsored by:
