Example
Portfolio sequencing
Grid Interconnection
Multi-site renewable portfolio across brownfield repowers, near-load greenfield, and remote high-resource sites. Each faces different queue times and upgrade costs.
Decision logic
Prioritize which projects to advance now when queue throughput, timing, and capital are shared across the portfolio.
Decision question
Which sites should we advance this cycle to maximize online capacity before the queue window closes?
Model output
Recommended priorityBrownfield first
Max interconnection this cycle340 MW
Value of more queue~$850k per MW
Active limits
- Upgrade queue full
- Interconnection budget 78% used
Key insight
With queue throughput shared across the portfolio, the best plan prioritizes sites that clear fast now and defers slower remote projects unless the queue expands.
Brownfield repowers clear fastest and capture the current cycle.
Remote sites wait unless queue throughput expands next cycle.
Unused budget is not the blocker here; timing is.
