Interconnection and Studies
Load study is a utility analysis of whether the system can serve a proposed customer load under planning and operating criteria. It may evaluate thermal limits, voltage, fault duty, protection, contingency performance, and required upgrades.
Interruptible service allows a utility or grid operator to curtail some customer load under defined conditions, often in exchange for lower rates or credits. It can be valuable for flexible load but is difficult for critical IT load unless paired with backup generation, load shifting, or non-critical processes.
