The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) program released a draft roadmap to improve processes for interconnecting clean energy resources to the distribution and sub-transmission grids and seeks feedback from the public. The draft roadmap identifies strategies that the interconnection community can take within the next five years and beyond, which can lead to more reliable and resilience electric infrastructure for all Americans.
“Connecting more distributed energy resources will improve grid reliability and lower energy costs in communities across America,” said Jeff Marootian, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. “Solutions in this roadmap can help all states or regions—regardless of their current deployment levels—speed up interconnection and benefit from clean energy.”
