New York ISO reforms interconnection queue, launches cluster study reviews
The changes, which comply with FERC Order 2023, “deliver greater efficiencies and transparency in our interconnection process,” New York ISO President and CEO Rich Dewey said.
There are about 280 projects in New York’s interconnection queue. The ISO says electricity demand could nearly double over the next two decades, driven by the electrification of heating and transportation and the development of energy intensive projects and industry.
NYISO’s first cluster study window began August 1.
The cluster study approach builds on an optional pre-application process launched in May that allows project developers to engage with the ISO and transmission owners before formally entering the queue. The new process aims to provide potential interconnection customers with an opportunity to obtain “detailed information on potential points of interconnection before submitting their formal interconnection requests,” the ISO said.
