Growing interconnection queues can be addressed by standardizing and automating processes across Transmission Providers (TP, ISO, RTO) and Transmission Owners (TO). This holistic approach significantly improves processing speed, communication, and transparency while reducing interconnection cost. In this webinar, you’ll learn how a cloud-based platform coupled with machine learning and artificial intelligence standardizes data sharing protocols and centralizes communication for task management, schedule and cost analysis for all stakeholders. This technology approach will advance U.S. energy infrastructure and substantially improve the overall efficiency of America’s transmission grid.
