PJM will emphasize cost controls in changes to its competitive transmission process, an element in its RTEP redesign.

FERC accepted the PJM proposal to exempt transmission facilities that operate below 200 kV from its competitive proposal process.

PJM plans to recommend at least two finalists when it presents its re-evaluation of the Artificial Island project to the Board of Managers in April.

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

The PJM Board of Managers approved the RTO's 2016 Regional Transmission Expansion Plan which includes $260M in transmission projects.

FERC upheld its Feb 2016 ruling that projects solely addressing a transmission owner’s local planning criteria aren't eligible for regional cost allocation.

FERC last week approved the PJM cost allocations for its updated Regional Transmission Expansion Plan, dismissing complaints from Dayton Power and Light.

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

The PJM Planning Committee held a special session to begin soliciting stakeholder input on changes to the RTO’s selection process for Order 1000 projects.

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.
