Typical wait in a congested interconnection queue before a project energizes.
Grid Interconnection & Compliance
Navigate the grid like a big developer — without the department.
Primus Energy gives the developers, owners, and investors behind data center and large-load projects the interconnection and compliance expertise to move from the right grid connection through the filings, evidence, and approvals it takes to power on — without building the function in-house.
Focused on one thing — getting your project through interconnection and compliance.
Working across
PJM / MISO / ERCOT / SPP / CAISO / ISO-NE / NYISO / NERC / FERC
The challenge
The grid is where project timelines and capital are won or lost.
Queues are congested, and the rules shift with your utility, ISO/RTO, state, and NERC obligations. A single late filing or a thin evidence package can cost a full study cycle — or your place in line. Whether you run this in-house or want a partner who already has, we bring the interconnection and compliance expertise to keep the project on track.
4–5
Separate authorities — utility, ISO/RTO, state, NERC, FERC — can govern one project at once.
One path
There is usually one right route onto the grid. We help you find it before you commit.
Who we serve
Built for the people accountable for getting projects energized.
We work directly with the developers, owners, sponsors, and investors who decide whether a project moves forward — at any project size.
Data centers
Developers and operators siting new compute load against tight energization timelines.
Large-load industrials
Manufacturing, hydrogen, and EV projects connecting at transmission or distribution.
Co-located generation
On-site generation or storage paired with new large load behind or near the meter.
Investors & lenders
An independent read on interconnection and compliance risk before capital commits.
What we do
From site concept to a signed interconnection agreement.
Engage us for the full journey or a single step — all within interconnection and compliance, where projects most often stall.
Step 01
Path assessment
We pinpoint the smartest way onto the grid — transmission or distribution, ISO or utility — before you sink cost into the wrong site.
Step 02
Rule mapping
We translate every authority that governs your project into one clear set of obligations and deadlines — in plain language.
Step 03
Filings & notices
We prepare and manage every submission and notice, formatted the way each authority expects — on their clock, not after the deadline.
Step 04
Evidence & review
We build the technical evidence package your project needs to clear study and review the first time — not on the third loop.
Step 05
Queue management
We track the milestones and deadlines and keep your project moving — all the way through to agreement and energization.
Advisory
Diligence & review
We give investors and lenders an honest read on a project's interconnection and compliance risk — before the capital commits.
How it works
One route. Five waypoints.
Our method turns a tangle of authorities and deadlines into a path you can follow — with a clear deliverable at every step.
Orient
We frame your site, load, and goals in the language the grid uses.
Map
We identify the right path and every rule that governs it.
Prepare
We build the filings, notices, and evidence package.
Navigate
We manage the queue, studies, reviews, and deadlines.
Energize
Through interconnection agreement and power-on.
Coverage
We speak every layer of the rulebook.
A single large-load project can answer to four or five authorities at once. We track all of them so the requirements never collide.
i.
Utility
Local transmission & distribution tariffs.
ii.
ISO / RTO
Market rules and interconnection queues.
iii.
State PUC
Commission rules, siting, retail tariffs.
iv.
NERC
Reliability standards & registration.
v.
FERC
Federal oversight & large-load policy.
