Has Montalva's Interconnection Cost Changed?Here in New England, solar projects' economic viability depends on sufficient excess capacity to receive power at the nearest substations. You can have a perfect project in all other respects, but if the nearest substations are maxed out, the cost to upgrade the system's capacity usually makes your project uneconomic. (These are mostly much smaller projects than Montalva.)
Does anyone know if either of the two winning projects was close to Montalva? Will they use up existing capacity we were planning to use? Has Friday's decision increased Montalva's interconnection costs?
