Description
Description | FirstEnergy has submitted an integrated resource plan for West Virginia proposing 70 MW utility-scale solar by 2028, 1.2 GW dispatchable gas combined cycle generation by 2031, and continued operation of existing coal plants. The company plans significant incremental investments in its transmission system to support growing demand, including reliability enhancements, regulatory required investments, and regional network upgrades through PJM's RTEP open window process. Transmission investments for 2026-2030 are expected to increase by 30% compared to the current five-year plan, with a compound transmission rate base growth of up to 18% per year through 2030. The 1.2 GW gas generation project is estimated at $2.5 billion, pending regulatory approval. |
