Description of need
US utilities have gigawatts of project requests in the queue, both on the demand and on the generation side.
At National Grid, the longest step in the process is if the project application trigger a transmission study. This would go to ISO’s study queue. National Grid performs it, but it is only performed when it reaches its spot in the ISO New England queue.There are a lot of megawatts that will be stuck behind the ISO transmission studies. (Note: the reason this takes time is not necessarily the study itself, but the fact that you need to wait for ISO NE: “the time is right”. )
