Interconnection Due Diligence Report 2026

A source-led framework for deciding what an interconnection record supports, what it leaves open, and what evidence should be collected before a development team advances a project.

Executive summary

Interconnection diligence is strongest when a team can trace every material statement to a dated source or a clearly identified project input. A queue position can be useful evidence, but it does not by itself establish deliverability, final upgrade scope, commercial operation, or investment readiness.

This report gives development, grid, and investment teams a repeatable way to compare paths without blending public records, internal forecasts, and unresolved questions into one unsupported conclusion.

The four evidence layers

Verified public facts

Capture the issuing organization, source URL, document version, retrieval date, and exact field supporting each material claim.

Project-provided inputs

Record requested MW, technology, POI, target energization date, site control, and the party authorized to provide the input.

Assumptions

Label planning estimates and scenario inputs separately from commitments, determinations, and completed studies.

Unknowns

Turn every missing fact that could change cost, schedule, deliverability, or go/no-go status into an owned diligence action.

A decision-ready comparison

Freeze the decision date and evidence cutoff.
Define the same comparison boundary for every pathway: requested MW, POI, target date, operating profile, and commercial constraints.
Record source, version, retrieval time, and coverage for every material field.
Assign an owner and next action to each unknown that could change the recommendation.

GridVision AI organizes authorized project and market evidence into a traceable Decision Record for management review. Live project conclusions still depend on current provider documents, formal studies, and qualified professional review.
