While PJM has authorized thousands of megawatts of new generation, many projects face hurdles outside of PJM’s control. Currently, approximately 45 GW of generation projects have signed interconnection agreements and are cleared to build but are delayed due to local siting and permitting challenges, supply chain constraints, and financing issues. PJM encourages state and federal policymakers to streamline these external processes to get projects built as quickly as possible.

PJM has reformed its interconnection processes to reduce wait times and continues to work toward further streamlining its processes to reduce the length of PJM’s required study process. Read the latest on interconnection reform on PJM Inside Lines.
