Distributed Energy Resource Interconnection Roadmap Draft

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) program is seeking feedback on a draft roadmap for the interconnection of distributed energy resources (DERs) to distribution and sub-transmission systems. This roadmap aims to address challenges, improve processes, and streamline the integration of technologies such as solar photovoltaics, wind, and battery storage into the energy grid. The feedback will help refine strategies to reduce interconnection delays and improve grid reliability and resilience. The roadmap highlights solutions that vary by region and regulatory environments, aiming to foster simpler and faster DER interconnections.
