With OBBBA now signed into law, the ERCOT development landscape is shifting under new federal priorities. Incentives tied to renewable energy deployment are creating a clear, time-sensitive window of opportunity – one that demands precision, not panic. For developers, the path forward is not about reacting quickly, but about being strategically ready. Projects that align technical progress with legislative timing will be best positioned to capture the full value of these incentives.
To qualify for the full Investment and Production Tax Credits (ITC/PTC), projects must meet specific construction and placed-in-service deadlines. That means interconnection readiness is no longer a back-end task; it is a strategic priority.
Securing an executed Interconnection Agreement (IA) is a key milestone. It enables the Notice to Proceed (NTP) with the Transmission Service Provider (TSP), which in turn triggers the design, procurement, and construction of the Transmission Interconnection Facilities (TIF). In short: the IA is the gateway to momentum.
For projects that have experienced delays or are not progressing through the queue as expected, this is the moment to reassess. We are working with clients to evaluate project status, re-sequence workstreams, and implement technical updates that align with both legislative and market timelines, without compromising quality or compliance.
Our Generation Interconnection (GI) team is working shoulder-to-shoulder with ERCOT developers to advance interconnection readiness with clarity and speed. We offer full-spectrum support, including:
