Senior Grid & Interconnection Analyst

Solar Provider Group (SPG) is a global solar developer with offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands and active projects across North America and Europe. This role is part of the Company’s North American team, which is focused primarily on the development of solar and BESS projects in the United States and Canada, with most current activity in the United States.

We identify, secure, and advance high-quality sites through the full development cycle, from early-stage land acquisition to construction readiness. Our team combines technical expertise, financial insight, and strong local relationships to deliver projects that accelerate the clean-energy transition and create lasting value for landowners and communities.

We are seeking an experienced, analytically strong grid and interconnection professional to own SPG’s grid and interconnection analytics across DG solar, front-of-meter BESS, and utility-scale storage. Working closely with the Strategy and Development teams, you will build and run the data, screening tools, and analysis that tell us where the grid can take our projects, what it will cost, and how long it will take, and you will carry that work through utility engagement and the interconnection process.

This role is instrumental in driving the company’s strategic growth.
It involves screening and prioritizing viable points of interconnection (POIs), securing queue positions and advancing applications through close coordination with utilities and internal engineering teams, and translating interconnection costs, timelines, and operating limits (e.g., export and charging limits) into inputs for project valuation and the business case for solar and co-located or standalone BESS.

The ideal candidate combines strong analytical and data skills with a solid grounding in power systems and a commercial mindset. They can synthesize hosting-capacity data, queue data, utility study results, and market dynamics into clear, decision-ready recommendations, and they are comfortable leading utility and ISO/RTO engagement and managing interconnection applications from pre-application through to an executed agreement.

• Identify regions within utility territories with available hosting capacity, charging (load) headroom, and favorable queue conditions for generation and BESS, coupled or standalone. Run screening-level power-flow and hosting-capacity analyses on distribution and sub-transmission networks, and scope and manage utility or consultant studies when they are needed.
• Analyze all available grid data and utility filings to identify regions suitable for solar and BESS development and land acquisition campaigns (e.g., hosting-capacity maps and data services, IX application throughput, interconnection queues and queue performance reports, trackers, pre-apps, integrated resource plans, etc.).
• Screen candidate POIs (substations, feeders, and line taps, including those identified in the field by the land acquisition team), prepare and submit pre-applications and applications, and advise the strategy, project development, and land acquisition teams regarding interconnection viability at prospective sites, including an interconnection go/no-go recommendation within each site’s due-diligence period.
• Review and manage interconnection and study agreements, tracking deposits, milestones, and cost responsibility, and provide information to de-risk projects and reduce costs.
• Identify and propose flexible interconnection arrangements to utilities/grid operators (e.g., export or charging limits, curtailment, DC-coupled configurations, adding storage to queued solar) that enable larger capacity project development with less…
