According to a recent LinkedIn post from Nira Energy, results from MISO DPP-2025 Phase 1 show that 54% of projects in the interconnection queue withdrew, with a median exit cost of about $998K per MW. The post indicates that only 62% of all projects advanced to Phase 2, while 81% of projects associated with Nira Energy reportedly progressed.

The company’s LinkedIn post attributes this differential to factors such as more rigorous site selection prior to entering the queue and scenario modeling once projects are under study. For investors, this suggests Nira Energy may be positioning its software and analytics as tools to improve project survivability in increasingly costly and constrained interconnection processes.
As shared in the post, high attrition rates and nearly $1M per MW in median exit costs underscore rising development risk for renewable projects seeking grid access in MISO. If Nira Energy’s customers consistently experience higher progression rates, the firm could see growing demand from developers aiming to minimize interconnection risk and protect development capital.
The post also points to upcoming MISO DPP-2025 Phase 2 activity, framing the Phase 1 data as a guide for developers preparing for the next stage. This may imply a near-term commercial opportunity for Nira Energy as developers reassess pipeline economics, refine siting strategies, and seek decision-support tools to navigate transmission constraints and queue uncertainty.
