PJM is exploring a way to identify and process resources that can support reliability in the near term as it transitions to a reformed interconnection process and clears its new service requests. Donnie Bielak, Director, Interconnection Planning, introduced the Reliability Resource Initiative at the Oct. 8 meeting of the Planning Committee. PJM has expressed concern in recent years about having enough resources on the system to reliably serve electricity demand, as detailed in the February 2023 study, Energy Transition in PJM: Resource Retirements, Replacements & Risks. The study is part of an overarching PJM initiative, Ensuring a Reliable Energy Transition. Read more at PJM Inside Lines. https://lnkd.in/e5Du_W3d

One simple idea relating to the implementation of FERC Order 845. PJM should allow for the study of BESS additions that charge from the grid under Surplus Interconnection Service if requested by the Interconnecting Customer. This is how MISO and SPP have implemented FERC Order 845.

Here is a good example of agile thinking from PJM to find a way to work within their existing connection process to identify and expedite the connection of resources that can help address near-term resource adequacy and reliability challenges. "The Reliability Resource Initiative would create a one-time opportunity to accommodate resources that support near-term reliability by placing them into Transition Cycle #2 with an abbreviated application window. Projects would be assessed by their contribution to resource adequacy, with a focus on their reliability value; the date by which they could be in service; and their size in megawatts." Bravo PJM.

Annual spending by major utilities to produce and deliver electricity increased 12% from $287 billion in 2003 to $320 billion in 2023 as measured in real 2023 dollars. Capital spending on the distribution system, responsible for delivering electricity to end users, was the main driver of electricity spending increases over the last two decades. Capital investment in distribution infrastructure increased by $31.4 billion, or 160%, from 2003 to 2023. Spending on electricity transmission systems nearly tripled from 2003 to 2023, increasing to $27.7 billion. Electricity transmission systems consist of the wires and structures required to transmit high-voltage power long distances from the generator to the neighborhood, lower-voltage distribution grid. (Grid infrastructure investments drive increase in utility spending over last two decades – Today in Energy – EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration) – November 18th 2024) #GridInfrastructure #GridCAPEX #DistributionCAPEX #TransmissionCAPEX #utilities #UtilitiesInvestment #UtilititesCAPEX

#IEEE2030.5 #DERMSGateway #GridOS Let's explore how Energy Queensland and GE Vernova are Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition Energy Queensland is taking bold steps toward a reliable, sustainable future—partnering with GE Vernova Grid Software to launch the GridOS™ DERMS Gateway. Leveraging IEEE 2030.5 (SEP2), this innovative platform creates secure, seamless connections with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), streamlining registration, provisioning, and commissioning in full compliance with CSIP and SA HB 218:2023 standards. Watch our webinar to explore key elements of this solution, including Flexible Connections—an approach that allows solar PV to plug into the grid even in constrained areas. Plus, see how Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) help communicate safe, real-time operating limits to maximize grid utilization. Don’t miss your chance to learn how these innovations are driving Australia’s clean energy transition—and paving the way for a brighter, more resilient future. #EnergyQueensland #GEVernova #DERMS #RenewableEnergy #GridInnovation #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #AustraliaEnergy #SmartInverters #FutureEnergy

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved reforms to California ISO’s interconnection process, which took effect on October 1. The reforms prioritize the most viable and advanced energy projects, streamlining their progression through the interconnection queue. Projects will be evaluated based on commercial interest, viability, and system need before advancing to detailed studies. FERC deemed the reforms "just and reasonable" and essential for handling CAISO's largest-ever cluster of interconnection requests. These changes, part of a broader framework between CAISO and California’s energy agencies, are intended to address growing demands for grid access while maintaining reliability and cost efficiency. Additionally, CAISO is working on further enhancements to address unresolved interconnection challenges, including issues with large project clusters. https://lnkd.in/gx_wDTxX #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #Electricity

On August 6, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Energy Bureau, and the Data Bureau jointly issued the Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of a New Power System (2024-2027) and proposed to focus on nine special actions to promote the construction of a new power system to achieve actual results. It includes: power system stability guarantee action, large-scale and high-proportion new energy delivery action, high-quality distribution network development action, intelligent dispatch system construction action, new energy system friendly performance improvement action, new generation of coal power upgrade action, new generation of coal power upgrade action, electric vehicle charging facility network expansion action, demand side coordination ability improvement action. In the "Electric vehicle charging facility network Expansion action", the "action plan" points out that the integration and interaction of electric vehicles and the grid should be strengthened. Make full use of the energy storage resources of electric vehicles, and comprehensively promote intelligent and orderly charging. Support interactive exploration of vehicle, pile, station and network integration, study and improve the time-of-use tariff policy for electric vehicles charging, explore the discharge price mechanism, and promote electric vehicles to participate in the interaction of the power system. 🔗 link: https://lnkd.in/gTh9_GCD

🚨 FERC's New Rule on Transmission Planning and Cost Allocation 🚨 Recently, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a pivotal final rule to reform the regional transmission planning and cost allocation process governing America’s transmission system. This landmark decision marks a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and resilience of the US national grid. Key Highlights of the Reform: 📈 Enhanced Planning: a forward-looking transmission planning process that better accommodates future demand and renewable energy integration 💰 Cost Allocation: a more transparent cost allocation mechanism that ensures the costs of new transmission projects are equitably distributed among beneficiaries 🤝 Stakeholder Engagement: increased involvement of utilities, state regulators and other stakeholders to foster collaboration in the planning process. This reform is a critical milestone in the modernization of America's energy infrastructure, driving down costs and paving the way for a cleaner more sustainable energy future ⚡ #Energy #FERC #TransmissionReform #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GridModernization #EnergyPolicy
