Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP)
The PJM Planning Committee voted by acclamation to endorse the results of the 2022 Reserve Requirement Study.
PJM said “Data Center Alley” in Northern Virginia needs more transmission to support a 4-GW increase in load, despite $230 million in pending projects.
PJM's stakeholders discussed reserve requirements, a new committee on interconnection processes, DOE's Transmission Facilitation Program and OSW transmission.
PJM saw interconnection requests for solar more than triple since 2019, comprising more than half the interconnection queue, according to the 2021 RTEP report.
PJM and New Jersey asked FERC to OK their plan for building transmission to deliver the state’s planned 7,500 MW of offshore wind.
PJM stakeholders received an update on the suspended Transource IEC transmission project at the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee meeting.
PJM stakeholders unanimously endorsed the results of the 2021/22 winter weekly reserve target analysis at the Planning Committee meeting.
Protesters urged FERC to reject a bid by PJM transmission owners to fund network upgrades and add them to their rate bases.

PJM stakeholders affirmed OA language from the RTO’s mitigation proposal endorsed in February to avoid critical infrastructure projects.
PJM and other RTOs are seeing a “very dynamic” transmission system as older generation retires and a whole new class of generation comes online.
