Interconnection Consulting
Navigate ERCOT's interconnection queue and study process — with an engineer who helped plan and build the grid.
Built for ERCOT Interconnection
If you're connecting to the ERCOT grid, the path depends on what you're building. The large load interconnection queue has exploded — over 200 GW in requests and a study framework that's still being defined. On the generation side, the process is well-established but complex, with engineering studies, planning criteria, and TSP coordination that require technical fluency to navigate efficiently.
- Data center developers facing an evolving batch study process and uncertain timelines for new facility interconnection
- Industrial and manufacturing projects whose load requirements trigger transmission upgrades they need to understand before committing to a site
- Generation and storage developers navigating the full interconnection study process — from screening to IA execution
- Large load customers who need someone to translate study results, coordinate with TSPs, and keep their project moving
Our Consulting Practice
Interconnection Strategy
We help you evaluate sites, understand TSP capacity constraints, and develop an interconnection approach before you file — so you don't waste time or money on a study that was never going to work.
Queue Navigation
ERCOT's large load interconnection queue has quadrupled in a year. We help you understand where your project stands, what the batch study framework means for your timeline, and how to respond when study results land.
TSP Coordination
We work directly with Transmission Service Providers to coordinate study requirements, facility upgrades, and interconnection agreements. We speak the language because we've been on the other side of the table.
Electricity Procurement
Once your facility is operational, we handle electricity procurement too. Large loads need contracts built for their specific demand profile — and we understand yours from day one.
Why SK Energy
Most consultants in this space come from the developer side. Kevin Sills, PE comes from the grid side — 14 years at Oncor followed by his current role as Transmission Planning Manager at a municipal utility in ERCOT. He leads NERC TPL compliance studies, large load interconnection analysis, and coordination with ERCOT planning processes every day.
That means when you hire SK Energy, you get someone who understands how TSPs evaluate your request, what makes a study straightforward vs. complicated, and where the real constraints are on the system.
Kevin regularly publishes detailed analysis of ERCOT stakeholder proceedings and PUC regulatory developments on LinkedIn.
