The Environmental Law Institute is hosting an upcoming webinar on the Department of Energy’s new large load interconnection directive—a major policy update shaping how data centers, industrial facilities, and other big loads connect to the grid. Halcyon data scientist Christopher Schenker will participate, bringing data-driven context on how large-scale growth is influencing utility planning and interconnection timelines. The session will outline what the directive aims to address, why it matters, and what stakeholders should expect next. We’re sharing this ahead of the event to highlight an essential conversation for the power sector.
