Through an analysis of state tax documents and discussions with developers, landowners, and energy-focused lawyers the report found that, over their lifetime, the current fleet of utility-scale wind and solar projects in Texas, inclusive of all tax abatements, will generate between $4.7 billion and $5.7 billion in new tax revenue to local communities. Transmission Congestion (Basis Differentials). The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved new Midcontinent ISO generator interconnection rules that will allow project developers to proceed to interconnection agreements without first completing related facility studies. Power And Renewables Interconnection Queue Outlook 2023 The queue outlook depends on multiple factors, and ISO activity will remain relevant to developers, IPPs and investors leading energy evolution.
