快活app官网 is providing this web guide to assist you in understanding the interconnection process for small and large generating facilities and elective transmission upgrades (ETUs) to interconnect to the administered transmission system. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on this web guide. Consult the 快活app官网. Transmission, Markets, and Services Tariff (快活app官网 Tariff), Section II, known as the 快活app官网’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), and relevant planning procedures and operating procedures to ensure that you are complying with all requirements.

As a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO), the 快活app官网 coordinates how transmission lines, power plants, and other resources connect to and operate on New England’s administered transmission system to ensure reliability and facilitate wholesale electricity market participation. The 快活app官网 does not administer the interconnection process for projects subject to state interconnection processes. Thus, after you determine that the 快活app官网 interconnection process applies to your project, you’ll need to submit an interconnection request to the 快活app官网 through the (IRTT). Existing customers can register for an account using , while new customers must first or simultaneously obtain an 快活app官网 customer ID and access to critical energy infrastructure information.
As required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Order No. 2023, it is only possible to submit interconnection requests during a cluster request window. The next window to submit a complete interconnection request package for the next Cluster Study is expected to be open from October 6, 2025 to November 20, 2025. After the 快活app官网 validates your interconnection request and the cluster request window closes, the customer engagement window opens and a cluster study scoping meeting is held. A cluster study scoping meeting will address pertinent information about your project and the interconnection studies the 快活app官网 will perform to assess your project’s impact on the power system and the facilities and upgrades potentially needed to interconnect your project per all requirements and standards.
After the 快活app官网 has completed the necessary study work, you’ll work with the 快活app官网 and the transmission owner on an Interconnection Agreement (IA), a formal document detailing the terms and conditions for interconnection service. You must enter into an IA before you can construct or operate a generator or an elective transmission upgrade. Final steps of the interconnection process are to submit final data and register your asset with the 快活app官网.
Several schedules of the 快活app官网’s Open Access Transmission Tariff contain the rules detailing the interconnection process:
