What is an Interconnection Bond?

A interconnection bond is a financial security that ensures the costs of connecting your solar park to the electricity grid are covered.

This guarantee ensures that the energy generated by your installation is efficiently and without disruptions or overloads integrated into the grid.

How Do Interconnection Bonds Work?

  1. Agreements
    As a project developer, you coordinate with the grid operator on the specific upgrades needed for the connection of the project.
  2. Issuance of the Guarantee
    A surety company issues the connection bond, guaranteeing that the necessary funds are available for the required improvements.
  3. Implementation of Improvements
    The grid operator uses the guarantee to cover the costs of improvements to substations and other connection points. This ensures your energy can safely enter the grid.
  4. Security
    This process ensures that your project is well connected. It also provides financial security for the grid operators.

Why is an Interconnection Bond Important?

  • Reduces Risks in Grid Integration
    The interconnection bond reduces the financial risks associated with grid integration, ensuring that your project is not delayed by infrastructural issues.
  • Ensures Smooth Energy Flow
    The guarantee facilitates a smoother process, allowing your generated electricity to enter the grid faster, supporting your sustainability goals and ensuring regulatory compliance.
  • Supports Project Continuity
    With an interconnection bond, you ensure that your project stays on schedule, remains financially stable, and complies with all regulations.
  • Enhances Collaboration with Grid Operator
    Interconnection bonds foster a positive relationship with grid operators, as the guarantees provide the financial security needed to carry out necessary infrastructure improvements.

Example: Interconnection Bond

Suppose you are developing a solar park. The grid operator requires improvements to the local substation to handle the additional energy your project will produce. On request of the grid operator, you arrange an interconnection bond.

This bond ensures that the necessary improvements are made, and the energy from your project can be safely and smoothly integrated into the grid.

If any issues arise, the bond guarantees the financial resources needed to resolve them are available. This keeps your your project on track and your investment secure.
