The factors that affect accuracy of cost and schedule estimates and how estimate variances can be reduced. 4. How other queued facilities that may impact an interconnection customer’s request are identified and when interconnection customers are made aware of such facilities (e.g., a lower-queued project being informed that the withdrawal of a specific higherqueued project may affect it). The challenges of identifying those facilities that may impact an interconnection request. Panelists: • Tim Aliff, Director of Reliability Planning, Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. • Dean Gosselin, Vice President of Business Management Transmission Services, NextEra Energy Resources LLC • Paul Kelly, Director, Federal Regulatory Policy, Northern Indiana Public Service Company 3. How to manage the effects of project withdrawals from the interconnection queue and possible best practices to keep the queue moving despite project withdrawal. The appropriate balance between attempts to prevent speculative projects from entering the queue and the recognition that the study process is designed to iteratively provide information that project developers will use to decide whether to proceed or withdraw (possibly causing restudies). 4. How transmission providers, transmission owners, and interconnection customers coordinate during the interconnection process, and possible areas for improvement. 5. Technologies, tools, or administrative processes that could improve the accuracy of cost and time estimates, reduce the processing time, or increase the efficiency of the interconnection queue process.
