FlexConnect: software for flexible grid connections
FlexConnect gives utilities and data centers a platform to plan and operate flexible grid connections. It quantifies available grid capacity, sets operating limits, and enables large loads to connect years sooner without compromising reliability.
One system for planning and operations
FlexConnect uses a shared grid model across planning and operations: defining flexibility needs during interconnection studies and enforcing them as operating conditions change.
Define flexibility needs
Quantify how much grid power a site can safely use hour by hour. FlexConnect defines the flexibility needed to interconnect faster.
Apply operating limits
Generate operating limits from real grid conditions. FlexConnect issues day-ahead and real-time signals to guide flexible sites safely.
Real-world results from flexible grid connections
A joint demonstration using utility transmission system data shows what flexible grid connections make possible.
Faster interconnection timelines
More capacity unlocked
Grid availability for flexible sites
Use the grid we have to power what’s next
In the face of unprecedented demand, studies show that data centers and clean generation with even modest flexibility can connect years faster and at a lower cost. FlexConnect is the only platform that turns this potential into a reality that allows planning and operations to safely use more of the grid we already have.

Ensure flexible sites
follow the plan
FlexConnect uses a shared model across planning and operations, keeping studies, operating limits, and site behavior aligned as conditions change.
Data-driven planning
Use real SCADA and system data to ground planning studies in actual grid conditions.
Aligned operations
Apply the same understanding of grid topology and constraints in real time to guide site behavior.
Discover the fastest path to power
FlexConnect delivers advanced, scalable power-flow analytics across distribution and transmission, evaluating thousands of scenarios to reveal time-varying capacity that traditional tools can’t. This shows where a flexible connection is feasible and how much flexibility a site requires.

Set utility-grade operating limits
FlexConnect translates real grid constraints into day-ahead and real-time operating limits that utilities can trust and flexible sites can follow. These limits ensure safe operations under changing grid conditions.
