Greenfield efficiently by narrowing down POIs to target based on interconnection potential including, headroom capacity, voltage, allocated costs, and pre-existing issues.
Target POIs based on interconnection potential
View injection/charging studies
- In the project sidebar on the left side of the project, select Add Grid.
- Select grid infrastructure type: Power Lines or Substations.
- Select From Layer
- Select Choose Source, and select the interconnection study that applies for your project.
Need help understanding which interconnection study scenario to look at? Read more about the different interconnection study scenarios and which ones to use for different use cases (e.g. solar, standalone storage, hybrid projects, data centers).
Select POIs of interest
Once you've selected the desired study/scenario, the capacity analysis will display on the map.
You can bulk select POIs in an area of interest:
- Under Apply Boundary, select from the several available to select an area of the map (e.g. draw a boundary, select by county, etc.).
Once you've selected POIs of interest on the map, a table will pop up from the bottom of the project screen with each of the selected POIs.
Refine the list of POIs to find the best ones
Filter the selected POIs to target only the ones that meet your requirements.
Try filtering off of the fields below, including:
- Nominal Voltage (KV)
- Allocated Cost $MM
- Headroom Capacity
Transmission lines in the capacity studies do not have allocated costs.
To learn more about POIs and allocation costs, visit our Capacity FAQs page.
If you are siting hybrid or standalone storage projects, you'll want to filter the data in the table based on both the discharging (injection) and withdrawal (charging) headroom capacity values to find POIs that meet both injection and withdrawal requirements for the energy storage system. All data points are available in the table view.
Add target POIs to project
- Check the Select all checkbox (below the Add to Project button).
- Once all POI rows are selected, click Add to Project.
Optionally, you can explore the Constraint scenarios for each target bus.

Now that your project has POIs that meet your interconnection requirements, continue on from step 3 of our Greenfield siting guide to find land nearby, analyze that land for hazards, etc.
