- PJM adds 220 GW of new projects to its reopened interconnection queue, with 106 GW of gas‑fired generation leading the mix.
- Google’s Tapestry AI tool will help PJM review interconnection applications within a one‑to‑two‑year horizon.
- ICF International’s Maria Scheller says the revamped queue is “smaller, stricter, and more actionable,” aiming to give a credible build signal.
- Advanced Energy United’s Jon Gordon calls the reopening a “welcome sign of progress” for the clean‑energy sector.
- PJM notes that 103 GW of signed interconnection agreements since 2020 remain stalled due to permitting and supply‑chain bottlenecks.
Why it matters: Power developers secure a 1‑2‑year review window for 220 GW of projects, while utilities and data‑center operators get clearer capacity signals as 106 GW of gas‑fired capacity enters the queue.
