伍德麦肯兹最新报告显示，2024年美国电网并网协议同比增长33%，创纪录达75GW。其中光伏和储能项目合计签订58GW并网协议，占比75%。
报告称，随着并网流程逐步简化，各区域电网运营商的新项目申请量下降9%，非可行项目退出率自2022年起上升51%，推动并网研究加速。
伍德麦肯兹北美公用事业规模光伏研究分析师冯凯特琳（Kaitlin Fung）表示：“改革正显现加快并网审批的积极迹象。”
报告预计，光伏项目将继续在2025年保持并网协议的主导地位，自2019年以来光伏已占签订协议的一半以上。
不同区域运营商并网成功率和审批时长差异明显。德州电力可靠性委员会（ERCOT）并网效率和速度领先，因采用精简排队及“接入管理”模式；新英格兰独立系统运营商（ISO-NE）申请成功率高，但仍因串行审批向集群审批转变缓慢而耗时最长；加州独立系统运营商（CAISO）排名第三，但因投机项目过多并网成功率偏低。
报告还指出，天然气项目自2022年起并网申请增至121GW，但成功获批比例下降25%，主因来自PJM、MISO及ERCOT区域。
冯凯特琳表示：“尽管势头向好，但区域审批时间差距凸显改革仍需持续推进。”
