Find viable sites. Understand costs.
Get to power faster.
Large load siting decisions are moving faster than traditional transmission studies can support. Minerva’s Large Load Interconnection solution helps developers and utilities quickly identify where load can interconnect, what constraints exist, and what upgrades may be required—without months of manual studies or black-box assumptions.
Make informed large-load decisions in minutes, not months.
Large Load Growth Is
Outpacing Traditional Studies
Rapid load growth—from data centers to electrification—is colliding with new regulatory pressure to use cluster-style studies and assign loads the full cost of upgrades.
But today’s workflows are still:
- Slow and manual
- Difficult to scale across multiple sites or scenarios
- Opaque when it comes to assumptions and cost drivers
- Disconnected from generation interconnection processes
The result is delays, uncertainty, and missed opportunities—at a moment when speed to power matters more than ever.
A Faster, Clearer Path to Large Load Interconnection
Minerva Interconnect™ streamlines large load interconnection studies by building up-to-date, study-ready models on demand—so teams can quickly evaluate feasibility, constraints, and costs at selected points of interconnection.
At its core, Minerva uses a Model On Demand (MOD) engine to build up-to-date study models in real time, incorporating:
- The latest generation queue data
- Transmission projects and upgrades
- On-site or co-located generation
- Flexible or staged load assumptions
Long wait times, one-off studies, limited visibility into cost and risk.
Rapid screening, transparent results, and confident siting decisions backed by real system data.
What This Enables for Large Load Teams
Cluster studies for large loads
Evaluate multiple load requests together to understand shared constraints and required upgrades earlier.
Load and generation studied together
Model large loads alongside queued generation or on-site resources for more realistic system impacts.
Clear cost visibility
Use cost curves to see how interconnection costs change with load size and identify key thresholds at a glance.
Fast POI screening
Eliminate non-viable sites early and focus engineering effort where capacity actually exists.
The result is a more timely, orderly path to interconnection—and fewer surprises late in the process.

Why It Matters Now
Large load interconnection is no longer just an engineering exercise—it’s a high-stakes business decision with major financial and reliability consequences.
Minerva helps teams:
- Shorten feasibility and study timelines
- Improve confidence in siting decisions
- Reduce rework and wasted engineering effort
- Communicate clearly with utilities and stakeholders
- Scale as large load volume continues to grow
The grid is evolving quickly.
Your large load interconnection workflows should too.
