Transmission Planning 101 for Project Developers

The webinar "Transmission Planning 101 for Project Developers," led by Lance Djibo of PVcase, teaches how understanding grid operator transmission planning and injection studies, combined with using PVcase Prospect's capacity data and advanced design and civil analysis tools, can improve renewable energy project interconnection approval rates and optimize project efficiency and yield amid congested U.S. grids.

Grid interconnection is the linchpin that decides the success or failure of a renewable energy project. Due to congested U.S. grids, many projects never get off the ground: in 2023, only 19% passed the interconnection queues. Understanding grid operator transmission planning is essential to ensure a project becomes commercially operational.

Join Lance Djibo, Transmission Planning Engineer at PVcase, and learn the basics of injection studies to boost your project's approval rate.

What you'll learn:

  • Grid operator transmission planning.
  • How injection studies are simulated.
  • Improve project approval with grid capacity analysis.
  • Using PVcase Prospect's Capacity data for greater interconnection success.

Equip yourself and your team with the knowledge and tools to make your project operational.
