The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) adopted major interconnection reforms in 2023 that have not yet taken effect in most regions; project developers continue to cite
The increasing backlog and wait times highlight the need for improvements in the interconnection process. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) released a Notice of
Almost 80% of new US energy generation projects awaiting grid connection withdraw their applications before coming online, according to a study from the Lawrence Berkeley National
While there are multiple factors driving demand, there are a few key reasons why the wait has gotten so long: Interconnection requests have surged since 2013, both in terms of overall
The clean energy backlog barely budged this year. What''s the way forward? It takes way too long to connect new solar, wind and batteries to the grid. Policy fixes are needed, but they move
Explore why interconnection queues remain the top barrier to renewable projects, and what strategies developers can use to move projects forward.
A new report by Texas-based energy consultancy Enverus says grid operators interconnection queues are lengthening, leading to project delays and even suspensions. The
U.S. consumer demand for renewable energy continues to grow, with more solar panel capacity installed in 2024 than in 2023, which saw more than in 2022. But U.S. trade policy is in flux,
Wait times to connect to the grid are going up, and more projects are dropping out in the process. From where Joe Rand stands, there''s good news and there''s bad news about renewable
Wait times to connect to the grid are going up, and more projects
Quick Answer: The interconnection queue backlog has grown 30% since 2023, with solar projects representing over 1,080 GW of total capacity. However, only 14% of solar projects historically
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for remote base stations, off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with European and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Europe.
