GET IN LINE: There are several obstacles that a “clean energy project” must overcome to obtain an interconnection queue for their project. One large obstacle is the GIQ (generator interconnection queue). Today, almost every regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) has a significant backlog in their GIQs. In fact, about 70% of the “clean energy” projects submitted are ultimately withdrawn due to the long wait times (years for some RTOs or ISOs), high cost for new transmission lines, and other upgrades that may be required to handle the increased capacity that their specific project will place on the grid. This has created a significant barrier to deploying renewable energy projects, which in turn has stymied the nation’s green energy plans.
