PJM presented three shortlisted scenarios being considered in its 2022 RTEP Window 3 to address growing data center load in Virginia and deactivation of the Brandon Shores generator outside Baltimore.

The Planning Committee endorsed the recommended values in the 2023 Reserve Requirement Study, which would increase the amount of reserves that PJM aims to procure for the 2027/28 delivery year.

PJM brought a quick fix solution before the Planning Committee, seeking to address the frequency and magnitude of load forecast adjustments being requested by electric distribution companies.

PJM stakeholders approved a load model for the 2023 reserve requirement study during the Planning Committee's Aug. 8 meeting.

PJM's Planning Committee discussed the recommended load model to be used in the 2023 Reserve Requirement Study (RSS), while the TEAC gave an update on the ongoing third window of its 2022 RTEP and the opening of the 2023 RTEP later this month.

The PJM Planning Committee approved documents to explore possible improvements to transferring capacity interconnection rights.

PJM plans to allocate more than 2,000 MW of transmission headroom to generators that requested additional capacity rights under a transitional process.

State advocates would like to see more details when supplemental transmission projects are proposed to the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee.

An error in the power flow case for several generators caused minor impacts to the 2022 annual cost allocations and zonal charges for the units, PJM said.

Demand growth in Northern Virginia's power-hungry Data Center Alley is accelerating, and policymakers are trying to ensure new demand can be met reliably.
