With clean energy laws and renewable portfolio standards driving an increase in interconnection requests, we are helping Dominion Energy meet the demand and achieve its objectives.
These interconnection requests represent hundreds of projects that must be managed through each phase of the PJM Interconnection queue process: engineering, construction and energization. Our team, via a program management contract, is responsible for the program as well as individual project management for all proposed renewable (solar, wind and battery energy storage) interconnection projects on the Dominion transmission grid.
We are providing coordination of planning, reliability studies, and engineering and construction with PJM, Dominion and project developers, including project controls, reporting, transmission planning, outage sequencing, scoping, estimating and conceptual engineering.
A Holistic Approach Helps Manage Interconnection Requests Efficiently
Managing the inflow of renewable generation interconnection applications was challenging a major utility. Proper planning, research, management of the...
Projects include transmission line upgrades, transmission substation upgrades, and greenfield transmission interconnection switchyards and tap lines, with voltages ranging from 69-kV to 500-kV. In light of clean energy goals in the region, it is expected that the number of interconnection request projects from renewable energy developers will continue to grow.
This ongoing program helps both Dominion and PJM achieve project and process goals, managing the influx of interconnection requests holistically.
