Throughout the northeast, distribution-level interconnection of rooftop solar, batteries, and community solar needs to move faster to keep up with the clean energy transition or we risk leaving benefits from the Inflation Reduction Act on the table. In this session, panelists will outline the problems and propose potential solutions enacted in other jurisdictions to alleviate these constraints.
