PJM staff outlined a proposal to lengthen the RTO’s RTEP cycle for reliability projects from 12 months to 18 months.

The PJM PC discussed the timeline for reviewing tie-line requests and project-selection guidelines while TEAC discussed the definition of "immediate need."

PJM is seeking stakeholder feedback as it considers a redesign of the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee. 

The PJM Planning Committee and Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee (TEAC) considered the loss of the Quad Cities nuclear plant and discussed Order 1000 rules, $1.1 billion in end-of-life projects for PSE&G and the third RTEP window of the year.

PJM planners have begun studying a redesign of the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee process. And the Planning Committee prepared for the 2016 reserve requirement study.

The PJM second competitive window of 2016 will be open for 30 days calendar days beginning the week of June 27, 2016.
