Interconnection Reform: What Should Renewable Developers Know About FERC’s New Final Rule?

August 08, 2023

Join Foley Hoag’s Energy & Climate group for the first in a series of webinars exploring what transmission and distribution grid interconnection reforms and regulations mean for renewable energy and storage developers. This first event will focus on the July 27, 2023 order from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) finalizing reforms to its standard generator interconnection procedures and agreements for transmission providers. This webinar will address many questions top of mind for renewable and storage developers, like:
  • What aspects of the final rule matter most for project developers?
  • What does FERC’s final rule mean for projects with an existing interconnection queue position?  
  • What about project yet to start the interconnection process?  
  • Will FERC’s reforms mark meaningful improvement for grid modernization and renewables integration?  
  • What could legal challenges and FERC’s protracted compliance filing process mean for the regulatory certainty of the announced reforms?
