What’s the Biggest Hurdle for Renewable Developers Right Now?

Bringing a renewable project online is harder than ever. Developers are facing major roadblocks, including:

1. Interconnection bottlenecks – Are long queue wait times delaying your project?
2. Rising network upgrade costs – Have you encountered unexpected multi-million-dollar expenses?
3. Curtailment risks – Is grid congestion limiting your project’s output even after interconnection?
4. Stricter EMT and NERC compliance – Are new stability and modeling requirements creating challenges?

 

Regulatory uncertainty – Are shifting FERC, NERC, or ISO policies impacting your development timeline? Each of these challenges can delay or derail a project, but proactive planning, strategic site selection, and advanced modeling can make a difference.
