We are thrilled to be partnering with Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) on this effort. Any delay in the schedule is always unfortunate, but we see this as an investment to enable a truly transformative payoff: a fast, repeatable, and transparent process that all interconnection stakeholders will ultimately benefit from. Let's move some projects through the queue!
MISO said its 123-GW collection of projects in the 2023 queue cycle will be subject to another delay into early 2025 as it pauses to see if a tech startup can help it better scale interconnection studies. See Full Story: https://ow.ly/arwK50SY5Gl Writer: Amanda Durish Cook

Thanks, The Westly Group, for including Pearl Street in its analysis on Medium about the potential for advanced automation technologies for the power grid. According to their analysis and market map, "There is an emerging category of planning and modeling tools that help utilities, grid operators, and project developers make better-informed, risk-adjusted decisions faster." This area is exactly where SUGAR™ and Interconnect™ converge to tackle the interconnection backlog from multiple angles. SUGAR™ can be deployed at transmission providers to automate interconnection study processes and has already modeled more than 180+ GW of the nation's backlog. On the developer side, Interconnect™ automates prospecting and system impact studies end-to-end, helping stakeholders gain more risk certainty in hours (vs. the typical weeks-to-months). Reach out to us now to learn more about how our technology can accelerate renewables deployment and enhance grid planning! https://lnkd.in/e6jsf23j https://lnkd.in/gVmx5qpd

It's been an eventful year for interconnection-related policy rulings. Most recently, each ISO submitted their FERC Orders 2023 and 2023-A compliance filings, and we developed a comprehensive cheat sheet for your policy toolkit. Let us know if you have any questions and we hope it will be useful in navigating the shifting interconnection landscape! https://lnkd.in/exW5dFhV

Considering that our foundational technology spun out of research from Carnegie Mellon University, we've maintained important relationships with the university and are thrilled to be able to recruit from this pool of talented students. As such, we're excited to welcome our summer intern, Chaitanya Doshi, a master’s student at CMU studying Software Engineering for Scalable Systems, to the Pearl Street and Pittsburgh team!

It's not too late to register for Infocast's Transmission and Interconnection Summit from 6/25-6/27 in DC! On 6/26, Our CEO and Co-founder, David Bromberg, will participate in the panel, "𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺." This is a subject near and dear to our hearts, as we've worked with transmission providers such as Southwest Power Pool and Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) to introduce more automation into their study processes. By mid-summer, roughly 300 GW of projects - about 10% of the nation's queue backlog - will have been modeled in our SUGAR™ software by transmission providers in their efforts to accelerate interconnection studies. We remain motivated by our impact on the energy transition and we're looking forward to dialoguing with other industry experts about the full spectrum of innovative solutions to expedite interconnection and transmission planning. Hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/d8TfhtFx
