PJM stakeholders received updates on the RTO's plan for long-range transmission planning and utilities' supplemental projects to deal with growing data center load.

The ultimate future of FERC Order 1920 depends on rehearing, implementation and inevitable litigation, but after reading through the order itself in the past week, many stakeholders see it as an important step forward in expanding the grid.

The PJM Planning Committee is considering a change to an issue charge framing a discussion on how capacity interconnection rights can be transferred from a retiring generator to a planned resource in the interconnection queue.

FERC approved four rate incentives to Mid-Atlantic Offshore Development to serve offshore wind in New Jersey under the State Agreement Approach with PJM. 

The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities has initiated a second state agreement approach with PJM to plan the transmission necessary to meet Gov. Phil Murphy's goal of installing 11 GW of offshore wind by 2040.

The state's Board of Public Utilities  approved an additional expenses for the state’s $1.07 billion transmission project to connect offshore wind farms to the grid.

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