As we note in our testimony, there's a lot of uncertainty in making future projections like this, which means it's all the more important to be considering multiple scenarios and future-proofing the grid by making least-regrets choices in this rapidly evolving energy transition #energysky

It's in the best interests of consumers, large loads, and competitive markets for PJM and market actors to use interconnection fast tracks like generator replacement and surplus interconnection to their fullest potential, as these are the fastest, most affordable paths to market for new resources

PJM has multiple means at its disposal for meeting load growth and maintaining resource adequacy by expanding new entry – my colleague Sarah Toth Kotwis and I contributed expert testimony to the RRI filing that highlights these alternate pathways, summarized in the waterfall chart below

How PJM can get the power that it needs — and fast The grid operator’s plan to fast-track gas power plants won’t solve reliability woes, advocates say, but the quicker and cleaner options it’s exploring…

Lots of change afoot around interconnection processes in PJM right now – @jeffstjohn.bsky.social has a great breakdown in his recent @canarymedia.com article: www.canarymedia.com/articles/tra...

Excited to welcome fellow energy nerds to DC -- we could use an infusion of smart, savvy, optimism right now! May not be able to swing a Tues meet up but hope to see some of you throughout the week!

Reality Check: Dispatchability and Reliability Are Not the Same Thing - RMI Focusing on how resources on the grid work together — instead of focusing on the characteristics of any individual resource — can unlock the most effective and affordable solutions to ensure reliable ...

System reliability can be supported by both “dispatchable” and “intermittent” resources, along with the underlying transmission network.

Love when my RMI colleagues write the thing I've been shouting in my head every time I see calls for more dispatchable gen to meet load rmi.org/reality-chec...

There are a lot of drivers of reliability risk but fundamentally it comes down to backlogged interconnection queues.
