Interconnection & Transmission Strategy

Strategic guidance through interconnection pathways, transmission constraints, and regulatory complexity.

Independent interconnection and transmission advisory across complex utility and regulatory environments.

Emerald Infrastructure provides interconnection and transmission strategy support for clean energy generation, energy storage, and large-load infrastructure projects operating within complex utility and regulatory environments.

We advise developers, investors, and large energy users on interconnection pathways, queue strategy, and transmission service planning, with a focus on reducing schedule risk, managing cost exposure, and improving the probability of successful interconnection. Our work spans early-stage feasibility through active queue participation and utility engagement, supporting informed decisions at critical project milestones.

Engagements are structured to be flexible, transparent, and aligned with project needs, while remaining independent of utilities, transmission owners, and market operators.
