PJM's Planning Committee endorsed revised values for the installed reserve margin and forecast pool requirement used to calculate capacity procurement targets in the 2025/26 Base Residual Auction.

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.
