Increase Speed to Power: Impacts of New Interconnection & Transmission Planning Policies on Grid Expansion
June 23 - 25, 2026 Hamilton Hotel | Washington, D.C.
Infocast’s Transmission & Interconnection Summit 2026 will provide the most up-to-date and detailed analysis of these new dynamics as they impact the entire power sector. The 2026 event will continue Infocast’s decades-long tradition of bringing together the critical policymakers, senior executives, senior stakeholders, and leading industry experts who are at the forefront of the efforts to meet the needs of the energy transition.
The urgent need to to supply electricity to an enormous wave of new data centers is driving an estimated $1.1 trillion in transmission investment, as well as initiatives that could fundamentally change the interconnection process for large loads and how they are powered. RTOs, ISOs, and other regional planning bodies must for the first time expand transmission planning from the usual 3-5 years to long-term 10- and 20-year horizons, and many are working on consolidating interconnection and transmission planning. Profound changes are affecting cost allocation, queue management, regional planning, permitting, the use of GETs, and other factors impacting the ability to quickly add capacity to the grid. How will it affect transmission owner/operators, investors, and a wide range of power industry stakeholders, including developers of new generation?
