Renewable Interconnection & Integration
Renewable Energy Interconnection & Integration Services
Vettore PWR assists renewable resource developers to sail through a myriad of procedures and processes for the interconnection and integration of their renewable projects as required by the regulatory framework and the electric power utilities within the jurisdictions they wish to participate in. Our group of partner consultants are experts in the policy, regulatory framework as well as technical requirements for such interconnections, and grid integration services as well as the renewable energy policies and regulations themselves.
We can provide guidance and oversight on the step‐by‐step processes needed for the generation interconnection and, if requested, we will prepare all the necessary forms and studies necessary to apply for an interconnection request as well as provide an in-depth search and analysis to capture any available incentives or rebates from the myriad of ever changing municipal, provincial or federal programs. Further, we can also assist with the analysis and review of all interconnection studies performed by transmission operators and offer advice on strategies to optimize the associated interconnection requests. Finally, we can also provide a careful review of any tendered generation interconnection agreement and fully support any associated negotiations with our expert consultant group.
