connection queues

Ofgem will remove 'zombie projects' from the country's grid connection queue and streamline the connection process for new projects.

Grid bottlenecks have emerged as a significant obstacle standing in the way of the energy transition in the US.

With more than 1TW of solar waiting for grid connection, PV Tech Premium looks at where the PV capacity is queued up in the US.

Nearly 1TW of solar PV capacity had interconnection queues at the end of 2022, according to a research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has released a whitepaper outlining the reforms it believes are needed to the US interconnection system, in which it lays out a series of proposals for both regional transmission organisations (RTO) and the US-wide Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

There was almost 1TW of renewable energy capacity and an estimated 427GW of storage active in US interconnection queues at the end of 2021 according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) analysis, which also showed that queues were growing year-on-year.

The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) has almost 80GW of solar and 148GW of storage in its interconnection queue.

Technologies to help tackle grid congestion could double the volume of solar and wind deployed by 2025, according to a new study.
