Early-stage siting decisions are a critical factor for a project's economics, yet developers are often forced to evaluate interconnection, land, and revenue potential in separate tools and disconnected datasets. In this customer webinar, Ascend demonstrates how to drive all these decisions within PowerVAL by analyzing interconnection capacity headroom and upgrade costs, layering land parcel data against viable POIs, and tying locational economics to long-term asset value.  

• Explore interconnection capacity headroom and upgrade costs across substations and transmission lines
• Assess site suitability across different MW sizes, asset types, and market scenarios
• Identify high-value locations by combining interconnection costs with long-term energy revenue opportunities
• Pair land parcel data with interconnection points to evaluate buildable sites near viable POIs
• Use Siting as an early-stage filter to focus development capital on sites most likely to perform well in a formal interconnection study
