Roadmap to Publishing Grid Capacity Maps

This roadmap provides strategic guidance for utilities considering the publication of grid capacity maps, which offer insights into the ability of distribution systems to accommodate new loads or generation. Drawing on extensive collaboration with utilities across varied regulatory and operational contexts, the document outlines key considerations, technical challenges, and stakeholder expectations involved in hosting capacity analysis. It serves both as a decision-making aid for utilities with existing analysis and as a foundational resource for those initiating such efforts, helping them navigate the complexities of data transparency, publication formats, and long-term planning.
