PJM is opening its second competitive project proposal window of the year this week.

Its scope consists of a year 2021 analysis of N-1 and N-1-1 thermal and voltage contingencies; generation deliverability and common mode outages; and load deliverability thermal and voltage.

The window will be open 30 calendar days, PJM said. Those offering proposals during that time will be permitted 15 additional days to submit detailed greenfield reports.

This is the second window for which a new proposal fee will apply for upgrades and greenfield projects. There is no fee for proposed projects costing less than $20 million. A $5,000 fee will be assessed for projects of up to $100 million. Proposals with a projected cost of more than $100 million must be accompanied by a $30,000 fee.

Details on registering were presented at the January Planning Committee meeting.
