| description | Read the interconnection queue, study sequence, and likely upgrade allocation as the project's schedule and cost risk. Reach for this before committing a schedule. |
Skill: Model the interconnection queue
Interconnection gates most projects more than construction does.
Step 1 — Read the queue position
Where the project sits and the study sequence/timeline (§3 #2).
Step 2 — Anticipate upgrades
Likely network-upgrade allocation and its cost.
Step 3 — Frame the schedule risk
Map the interconnection milestones onto the development critical path.
Step 4 — Price the risk
Put the upgrade-cost and delay risk into the economics.
Output
A queue read, an upgrade-cost estimate, the schedule-risk mapping, and the priced risk.
