Interconnection
Interconnection is where most data center power timelines are won or lost. We place the people who navigate queues, studies and utility agreements.
What interconnection teams do
- Load-flow and system impact studies
- Utility large-load and tariff processes
- FERC, NERC and RTO/ISO procedures
- Facilities and service agreement negotiation
- Schedule and risk tracking across portfolios
Interconnection professionals manage the path from a load request to a signed service agreement. They coordinate studies with utilities and grid operators, track upgrade requirements and negotiate cost and schedule.
Because a delay at this stage can push a campus back by years, companies now treat interconnection leadership as a strategic hire, often reporting directly to the head of energy or development.

Interconnection hiring, answered.
How long does a interconnection search take?+
Most interconnection searches produce a shortlist within three to five weeks and close within two to three months. Senior and highly specialized roles can take longer, which is why we recommend starting before the project needs the hire.
Where do you find interconnection candidates?+
We recruit from utility transmission planning, rto/iso staff, renewable and storage developers, power systems consulting firms, as well as from data center companies. Many of the strongest candidates are not actively looking.
Do you fill confidential roles?+
Yes. Many searches are confidential. We describe the opportunity without naming the client until a candidate is qualified and interested.
Can you help us define the role?+
Yes. We often help clients scope interconnection roles, set reporting lines and benchmark compensation before the search begins.
