Ohio and Pennsylvania Could Unlock 37.5 GW of New Energy with Surplus Interconnection Service

WASHINGTON -- After decades of flat demand, U.S. electricity usage has seen a steady climb over the past five years, with no signs of slowing down. This growth in demand is driving the need for new energy resources, but the complex interconnection process has been a bottleneck, delaying the deployment of more than 2,060 gigawatts (GW) of generation and storage capacity across the country. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, the interconnection process has been particularly problematic. Any new energy resource, such as a solar farm or a natural gas plant, typically takes more than five years to move from application to operation. This delay has led to rising generation costs, which are set to surge from $29 to $333 daily per megawatt of …
