The demand for electricity in the United States has increased rapidly for the past few years as homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities electrify, manufacturing hubs expand, and energy-intensive sectors, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers, continue to grow. Current grid capabilities and interconnection services are unable to meet America’s rising energy needs effectively and efficiently. Current challenges include inefficient regional processes and management systems that increase interconnection timelines, insufficient grid hosting capacity and data access that inhibit effective planning and add unnecessary costs, and a need for innovative interconnection services to support solutions that maximize grid use and mitigate costly grid upgrades (such as hybrid facilities and flexible interconnection). There is an urgent need to rapidly transform the current system and unleash American energy to keep pace with the growing electricity demand.

Selected lead organizations will receive up to $1 million.
