Pennsylvania Expedited Interconnection Track Energy Projects

planned

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) published a Request for Information for new energy generation and storage projects eligible to quickly enter service. These projects aim to rapidly add power to the electric grid to meet rising energy demands from A.I. data centers, improve grid reliability, and address high energy costs. Eligible projects include solar power plants, wind generation plants, advanced thermal generating units, hybrid facilities, and battery energy storage systems. The projects will be part of PJM's Expedited Interconnection Track (EIT) process, enabling up to ten large projects per year to secure Generator Interconnection Agreements within ten months of application.
