The PJM Board of Managers approved staff's recommended projects for the third window of the 2022 Regional Transmission Expansion Plan.

PJM’s preliminary load forecast for 2024 sees higher growth for both summer and winter, driven by EVs, data centers and state incentivizes for heat pumps.  

The Organization of PJM States urged the PJM Board of Managers to work closer with member states to find holistic solutions to reliability challenges posed by rising load and generation retirements.

The 25 projects in PJM's Regional Transmission Expansion Plan include a $796 million immediate-need project to address Brandon Shores' looming deactivation.

PJM has presented a package of transmission projects to address growing data center load and several generation retirements. The proposal, which requires Board of Managers approval, would fulfill the 2023 RTEP Window 3.

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.
