FelixFusion’s grid-risk software targets renewable project decisions
FelixFusion is building software for renewable developers and infrastructure investors weighing the risks of connecting projects to the power grid. Co-founder and CEO Ashkan Yousefi describes a platform that combines physical grid models with electricity-price analysis.
The connection question
For the regions with available data, projects built in 2025 took a median of more than five years from connection request to commercial operation, according to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. That measure covers generation projects, not applications from large electricity users.
The same research counted about 2,061 gigawatts of proposed generation and storage capacity in active U.S. connection queues at the end of 2025, down 10% from a year earlier. These are proposed projects, not a measure of demand for FelixFusion.
Putting grid and price risk together
Yousefi describes a platform that combines grid-operator data, physical network models and electricity-price volatility modelling to produce probabilistic grid-risk profiles. Its intended users include renewable developers, asset managers and infrastructure investors.
A combined risk profile could help developers and investors weigh grid conditions alongside electricity-price risks when assessing a project. Its usefulness would depend on the inputs and how well the results reflect actual conditions.
