PJM Board authorizes changes to Regional Transmission Expansion Plan
PJM’s Board of Managers authorized on Feb. 11 changes to its Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP), resulting in a net addition of nearly $234 million in projects.
The PJM Board authorized nearly $237 million in newly authorized baseline transmission enhancement projects, including $202.37 million in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Form No. 715 transmission owner criteria projects and $34.6 million in PJM baseline reliability projects.
The Board also authorized the cancellation of three formerly approved baseline projects, resulting in a $3 million decrease to the RTEP.
The RTEP is an ongoing comprehensive planning process and an annually published report that identifies and coordinates the implementation of transmission upgrades and enhancements needed to maintain the reliability of the transmission system.
PJM serves 65 million people across 13 states and Washington, D.C.
