"DOE's Roadmap: Accelerating Clean Energy Grid Connections by 2035"
The US Department of Energy has released a roadmap aimed at accelerating the connection of clean energy to the grid, addressing a significant backlog of solar, wind, and battery projects waiting to be built. The Transmission Interconnection Roadmap outlines aggressive targets for improvement by 2030 and aims to ensure the Biden administration's goal of 100% clean electricity by 2035 is achieved. The roadmap includes four goals focused on data access, transparency, security, process improvement, economic efficiency, and grid reliability, with the intention of making the interconnection process more efficient and reliable.
