PJM Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee (TEAC)

The price tag on Dominion Energy’s “Data Center Alley” transmission upgrades in Northern Virginia has grown by $24.6 million to $627.6 million.

PJM transmission owners led by Dominion presented the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee with more than $400 million in supplemental projects.

Dominion Energy plans $603 million in additional transmission spending to serve the unprecedented growth of data centers near Dulles Airport in Virginia.

PJM said “Data Center Alley” in Northern Virginia needs more transmission to support a 4-GW increase in load, despite $230 million in pending projects.

Delivering power from New Jersey’s planned offshore wind projects will cost at least $1.2 billion and could total more than $7 billion, PJM said.

PJM's stakeholders discussed reserve requirements, a new committee on interconnection processes, DOE's Transmission Facilitation Program and OSW transmission.

PJM delayed a vote on the draft charter of the Interconnection Process Subcommittee at last week’s Planning Committee meeting.

PJM proposes a new subcommittee to continue discussions of interconnection process changes after the Interconnection Process Reform Task Force wraps up.

PJM stakeholders endorsed an update to the generation deactivation process as some members asked the RTO to slightly modify the proposed timing language.

PJM will present stakeholders with study results that seek to explain potential upgrade requirements stemming from the RTO’s generator deliverability proposal.
