Nira Energy reported that 54% of projects in the MISO DPP-2025 Phase 1 interconnection queue withdrew, facing a median exit cost of about $998,000 per MW. Only 62% of queued projects advanced to Phase 2, underscoring the rising financial and operational risks developers face when seeking grid access.
Against this backdrop, Nira Energy said that 81% of customer projects using its tools progressed to Phase 2, implying a materially higher survival rate than the overall pool. The company attributed this outcome to more rigorous pre-queue site evaluation and scenario modeling applied once projects are under study.
The posts position Nira Energy’s software and analytics as decision-support tools designed to improve project survivability and protect development capital in costly and constrained interconnection processes. High attrition rates and nearly $1 million per MW in median exit costs may increase demand for solutions that help developers better manage queue risk.
Nira Energy also pointed to the forthcoming DPP-2025 Phase 2 process, framing its analysis as guidance for developers preparing for the next stage. While no financial metrics, pricing details, or client concentration data were disclosed, the reported performance differential suggests potential for the company to deepen its role in renewable planning and grid-interconnection workflows.
Taken together, this week’s communications underscore Nira Energy’s focus on leveraging data-driven siting and modeling to navigate MISO’s tightening interconnection environment. The company’s reported customer outcomes highlight both the challenges of grid access and the potential value of specialized analytics in supporting future project development.
