Get it while it’s hot: Under PJM’s new “first-ready, first-served approach,” the capacity-strapped grid operator will now review 715 potential new generation projects (totaling over 200 GW). To qualify for this study process, applicants had to prove their readiness (with, for example, upfront financial commitments.) Now, PJM says it’ll review these projects over a typical timeline of one to two years. The pieces of the pie: Natural gas leads the charge at 99.8 GW, followed by storage (60 GW) and nuclear (17 GW). Half of the requested gigawatts come from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia.
