Flexible Service Connection
Accelerating flexible interconnection at scale
Interconnection requests continue to increase as utilities balance constrained distribution networks with rising customer expectations for faster service. Flexible Service Connection establishes a framework for connecting qualifying customers under time-varying operating limits while maintaining distribution network operating parameters.
Logic20/20 helps utilities standardize the processes, analysis methodology, and operating model needed to implement and scale Flexible Service Connection. The result is a consistent approach to evaluating and managing flexible interconnections that enables faster customer connections and more efficient use of existing distribution infrastructure.
