About the Whitepaper
The Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2) released a comprehensive white paper on interconnection challenges in the solar and storage industry and proposed new solutions to accelerate the clean energy transition.
The report builds on recent analyses from Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy and recommends that grid operators and regulators create more holistic comprehensive regional transmission planning processes and a new funding paradigm for transmission upgrade costs. These recommendations would more equitably distribute transmission upgrade costs and reduce uncertainty in the interconnection process, resulting in lower interconnection costs, a more robust transmission system, and faster build out of renewable energy.
