Elevate Renewables’ Tonja Wicks said PJM has been messaging that new entry isn’t set to keep pace with deactivations and accelerating load growth, driving the need for process to quickly replace retiring generators with new resources. She also noted that only a small subset of projects that have cleared PJM’s interconnection queue in recent years have entered commercial operation, an issue she argued could be helped by focusing on proposals that can be quickly studied and are likely to be assigned minimal network upgrades. “We need new approaches to address this new problem that we’re seeing as we deploy new technologies,” she said. “We didn’t have reserve deficits 10 years ago.” Wicks said the Elevate package would establish a nine-month study process that would remain quicker than the two years she said it would likely take resources to typically clear PJM’s new approach. Not only would that allow some resources to receive ISAs faster, she said, but it would resolve a timing misalignment between when resources deactivate and when their CIRs can be passed on to a new resource. https://lnkd.in/g_yWWWuG #ElevateRenewables #PJM #regionaltransmission #RTOInsider #capacityinterconnectionrights

Everything is bigger in Texas, including energy storage. California has traditionally been the center of the storage industry, but that’s rapidly shifting as Texas continues to add storage capacity. Reuters and ERCOT predict that Texas’ storage capacity will grow to 16,000-17,000 MW by 2025/2026, making them the largest storage market, and Quidnet is well-positioned to be part of the ongoing storage revolution in Texas. https://lnkd.in/e5s4t3QT #EnergyStorage #Texas #Storage #Energy #LDES

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) passes new rules to require grid operators to conduct long-term planning on transmission requirements, taking into account reliability and changing resource mix. Sluggish grid investment is both a major bottleneck to adding new renewables to the electricity mix as well as a source of risk to reliability. https://lnkd.in/g4QmgcUn
