Factor This Policycast: Fixing Generator Interconnection

On the second episode of the Factor This Policycast—in partnership with Advanced Energy United—United’s Caitlin Marquis and Grid Strategies’ Rob Gramlich outline how each major regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) is approaching generator interconnection reform. Marquis and Gramlich also share policy suggestions and discuss the recent show-cause orders issued by FERC to each of the six regional grid operators within its jurisdiction, directing them to either justify or reform the rules governing how large energy users, such as data centers, connect to the electric grid.
