We are seeking a Founder/CEO to launch and run one of our next companies focused on revolutionizing grid interconnection. The process of connecting new energy sources to the main grid faced a 30% increase in delays in 2023 due to a surge in requests. This bottleneck presents a major opportunity for innovation, especially in streamlining data collection, policy review, and the overall application lifecycle.
The current interconnection process, exemplified by New York’s process, involves multiple steps, including feasibility studies, reliability impact assessments, and regulatory compliance. While the market for interconnection solutions is still developing, the growing demand for faster grid connections, driven by increased investments in renewable energy, underscores the potential for new software solutions.
As CEO, you’ll be leading the charge with a CTO, Designer, GTM, and validation experts by your side until your own team is hired. You’ll also have the support of recruitment, HR, legal, finance, and more to scale.
