Solar Provider Group

Strategy

• Lead integration of battery energy storage with solar projects or standalone battery energy storage, including understanding and quantifying the business case.
• Develop value propositions by understanding financial incentive programs in key target markets focusing on BESS.
• Identify regions within utility territories with available hosting capacity and favorable queue conditions for generation and BESS, coupled or standalone.
• Perform load flow and injection studies and complex analyses on distribution and potentially transmission networks.
• Understand project financing models as a means to inform the impacts of interconnection costs and/or design changes on the financial viability of a project.
• Build relationships and liaise with utilities to develop creative solutions and secure favorable access to the grid.
• Review pre-applications and advise the project development and land acquisition teams regarding interconnection viability at prospective sites.
• Suggest flexible interconnection arrangements to utilities/grid operators (e.g. curtailment) and enable larger capacity project development with less expensive upgrades.
