Application Preparation and Coordination
As an Interconnection Analyst, you will navigate the technical and regulatory aspects of utility interconnection for renewable energy and energy storage projects. Leveraging 4–8 years of experience in interconnection processes, you will prepare and review interconnection packages, analyse utility and regulatory guidelines (FERC, PJM, NYISO, SPP, ERCOT), and evaluate transmission and distribution tariffs, costs, and timelines. This role focuses on supporting both front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) projects across RTO regions while optimizing strategies for grid integration and state incentive programs.
Technical Analysis and Strategy Development
- Track and oversee interconnection studies, applications, and follow-up requirements for the project portfolio.
- Foster collaboration by facilitating the exchange of technical information across engineering, development, and legal teams.
- Stay updated on utility, commission, and regulatory standards to ensure compliance.
- Navigate, interpret, and apply utility documentation and policy frameworks, including guidelines from SPP, WECC, SERC, FERC, and CERC.
- Prepare, review, and validate interconnection packages to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Contract and manage consultants for injection analysis, technical design, and other deliverables.
- Assist in responding to regulatory queries and ensuring alignment with technical requirements.
- Conduct in-depth technical reviews of utility study reports and integrated resource plans (IRPs).
- Analyse interconnection results, interpret study reports, and provide actionable technical recommendations.
- Identify optimal interconnection strategies using system impact study reports and grid/hosting capacity insights.
- Evaluate interconnection system costs and recommend schedule adjustments aligned with project development timelines.
- Navigate, interpret, and apply utility documentation and policy frameworks, including SERC, CERC, or international regulatory guidelines.
- Collaborate with engineering and development teams to ensure timely application submissions and strategy optimization.
- Review and peer-audit engineering designs and technical data to support application completeness.
- Understand and manage interconnection requirements, processes, timelines, and tariff rules across relevant RTOs/ISOs.
- Provide insights to inform project planning, future project opportunities, and technical strategies.
- Serve as the primary technical lead and point of contact with ISOs, RTOs, utilities, and transmission service providers for interconnection activities.
- Provide interconnection expertise for site selection, bid proposals, project financing, and project handoffs to execution teams.
- Review and ensure compliance with utility and commission guidance documents.
- Coordinate applications with internal teams, consultants, utilities, and external stakeholders.
- Support negotiations of technical terms in interconnection agreements.
- Participate in team meetings and maintain regular communication with team members to align project objectives.
