How Developers Drive Smarter Energy Investments with PROBE

View webinar featuring Carlos Cofino, Head of Interconnection at Clēnera (an Enlight Renewable Energy company), as he shares how his team uses PowerGEM’s PROBE to select optimal sites, reduce project risk, and improve investment outcomes in the Texas energy market.

Through Carlos’s real-world experience—both in his current role and prior projects—you’ll learn how combining technical and economic modeling early in development can uncover opportunities that traditional planning scenarios miss.

Topics addressed:

  • Developers face risk in advancing projects that may ultimately fail due to congestion, curtailment, or poor market fundamentals.
  • Need to identify optimal sites early and de-risk investments before moving forward in the interconnection queue.
  • In ERCOT and other markets, price signals, basis, and congestion can make or break project viability.
