This course is based on work with over 20 utilities during the last decade in creating, updating, and improving the interconnection process for the distribution of connected renewables, storage, electric vehicles, and other interconnections. The course assumes you have a basic understanding of interconnections and why the interconnection process exists. It will cover: how not to do interconnections, how to avoid regulatory complaints, separation of information within the utility to comply with state and federal regulations, what studies need to be done and when to do those studies, recent changes in regulations, and the impact on the process, avoiding bad applications, dealing with bad installers and developers, best practices in timing and payments, reserving rights for future needs, parallel operating agreements, material changes, inspections, the likely impacts of FERC 2222, 901A, 2023A, 841/2/5, and more. The course will be highly interactive, so please bring your questions!
