Speed to Power: Solutions for Accelerating Large Load Connections

July 9, 2026

A new Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) report, Speed to Power: Solutions for Accelerating Large Load Connections, identifies and explores more than 40 potential solutions for accelerating large load connections, organized into five functional areas: load forecasting, interconnection, resource planning and procurement, markets and operations, and cost allocation and ratemaking. The five functional areas provide a framework for organizing challenges and solutions to large load connection bottlenecks.
