As the energy landscape across the U.S. West evolves, developers and asset owners face two important opportunities to advance generation and storage projects in the WECC and CAISO regions.
Here’s what you need to know:
Utilities across the western U.S. are preparing to open their 2025 Generation Interconnection Request Windows, offering a critical opportunity to meet growing load demands from sectors like transportation electrification, data centers, and hydrogen production.
With demand expected to surge, these windows allow you to interconnect a range of new generation resources to meet future energy needs.
Many utilities are now requiring electromagnetic transient (EMT) models as part of your Interconnection Request data package submission. Developing these models takes time – and if started late, may exceed the typical 45-day window. Each utility has its own EMT model testing and validation requirements, so it’s essential to start early to avoid delays or invalid submissions.

If you own or operate an existing wind or solar facility in CAISO, you now have a unique opportunity to add battery energy storage (BESS) and pursue Full Capacity Deliverability Status (FCDS).
