HeatSpring Pro
Interconnection Pro
Interconnection Pro covers the policy history, customer-facing process management, and transmission-queue mechanics of connecting distributed and utility-scale energy projects to the grid. The badge gives interconnection professionals both the regulatory context behind today's state-by-state DER rules and the practical skills to manage applications, timelines, and queue positions from application to project closeout.

Earn the Interconnection Pro badge by completing all required courses and passing a final exam.
Learning objectives
- Explain how interconnection regulation in the U.S. evolved, and use that history, along with current state and model procedures, to evaluate where a given state's interconnection framework stands today.
- Manage the utility interconnection process end-to-end — from application submission and milestone tracking through interconnection agreement and project closeout — including how to handle screening failures, delays, and disputes.
- Explain how transmission interconnection queues are structured, identify the key organizations (ISOs, RTOs, transmission owners) and regulatory drivers behind queue bottlenecks, and apply strategies to reduce project interconnection timelines.
