Section 4 of 5The Queue Management Challenge
Interconnection queues have become a significant bottleneck for renewable energy deployment. With thousands of projects waiting to connect, effective queue management is essential to accelerate the clean energy transition.
Capacity Constraints
Limited engineering resources and study capacity create processing bottlenecks.
Complexity Variation
Projects range from simple rooftop solar to complex multi-phase wind farms.
Resource Allocation
Balancing speed, cost, and reliability requires strategic resource management.

Implementation Timeline
Phase 1: Planning (1-2 months)
Assess current queue, define strategy, allocate resources
Phase 2: Implementation (2-4 months)
Train staff, update processes, pilot new approach
Phase 3: Optimization (3-6 months)
Monitor results, refine processes, scale successful strategies
Queue Management Best Practices
Effective queue management requires balancing speed, cost, and reliability. Hybrid approaches often provide the best results by tailoring strategies to different project types and market conditions.
