IREC Paper: Model Interconnection Procedures 2023 Edition

Interconnection is one of the biggest obstacles to the expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs). As demand for clean energy accelerates, utilities face a glut of requests to connect DER projects to an already saturated electric grid. Without up-to-date rules tailored to current clean energy technologies and the latest best practices for integrating them on the grid, it can take months or years to bring new projects online.

CEA India Report on Transmission Plan for 500 GW RE by 2030

Since 2022, the installed electricity generating capacity in India was 409 GW including 166 GW of RE generating capacity (including large hydro), which is about 40% of the total installed electricity generating capacity in the country. India has envisaged to increase the non-fossil fuel based installed electricity generation capacity to 500 GW by 2030.

RETA’s Flagship Project on Regional Interconnection

Strengthening interconnection between grids can enhance energy security and contribute to decarbonisation by allowing more flexibility in the system.  Particularly for interconnectors between grids in different jurisdictions, regulators’ roles in facilitating and regulating them can be complex, especially in cases where they operate in very different ways.

ACER-CEER Position on Anticipatory Investments

The conclusions of the 9th Energy Infrastructure Forum requested ACER and CEER to analyse key barriers and develop recommendations for national incentive schemes to promote anticipatory investment for the system integration of renewables.In this paper, ACER and CEER present findings based on two reviews of national regulatory frameworks (one in 2023 and another one in 2024) based on national regulatory authorities (“NRAs”) factual inputs and their views on the topic of anticipatory investments. Based on the findings, the report ends with several recommendations for regulators for national incentive schemes.

Grids for Speed (GfS) Report

Grids for Speed (GfS) is a comprehensive examination of investments and enablers needed to ensure that our grids are fit and ready for a more electrified society. The report also explores the societal benefits that will be made possible by investment, including energy bill savings, job creation opportunities and, crucially, decarbonization.
