NARUC's 2026-06-10 presentation (video) recommends that state utility commissions systematically collect data on distribution upgrade costs, interconnection queue timelines, and customer impacts. This tutorial-style briefing shows how granular metrics enable targeted solutions—such as improved queue management, cluster studies, and cost-allocation changes—to manage rising interconnection costs and reduce delays for customers.
State utility commissions can reduce high interconnection costs by collecting granular data on distribution upgrade costs, specific upgrade drivers, and per-customer impacts to inform cost allocation and mitigation.
Utility commissions can create a foundation for managing high interconnection costs by collecting data to better understand interconnection-related costs for distribution upgrades and how they impact interconnection customers, as well as other data that support implementation of interconnection solutions.
