Recent accomplishments:
- Performed an interconnection design analysis that connects the Southeast Oklahoma Pump Storage Project (“Project”) with 1,200 MW and 1,400 MW generating and pumping facilities to the high voltage transmission lines and Substation of 40 Miles to SPP’s Valliant 345kv substation and an additional 60 miles to ERCOT ‘s Paris TX, 345kv Substation north of Dallas, Texas. The Project is approximately 100 Miles south of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and 140 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.
- Performed steady state, N-0, N-1, N-1-1, and N-2 and managed the interconnection process, including site plan, single line diagram, data submission, and review of the ISO and utilities study results for over 25 projects totaling 4,890 MW of renewables in CAISO, Western interconnection and ERCOT regions.
