A band of incumbent utilities has collected case studies that they say demonstrate the need to instate or maintain the right of first refusal for the good of grid expansion.

PJM's Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee heard a presentation about the preliminary 2029 congestion results in the 2024/25 Base Case.

PJM’s Andrew Gledhill presented a proposal to the Planning Committee to revise the installed reserve margin and forecast pool requirement for the third 2025/26 Incremental Auction.

The PJM Planning Committee endorsed revisions to Manual 14H to clarify the changes developers can make to the site control requirements for their projects at different phases of the interconnection process.

FERC's Office of Enforcement and PSE&G reached an agreement imposing a $6.6 million penalty on the utility over allegations it provided PJM with inaccurate information about the condition of a transmission line in New Jersey.

FERC rejected proposals from PJM and its transmission owners that would have changed regional planning, by moving those rules to the tariff from the operating agreement, while also giving transmission owners more authority over the process.

The PJM Planning Committee endorsed a coalition proposal to rework how generation owners can transfer capacity interconnection rights from a deactivating unit to a new resource.
