The planned 130-mile, 500 kV circuit from Susquehanna to Lackawanna to Roseland will tie into the existing 500 kV network and, with the addition of 500/230 kV transformers, will create a strong link from generation sources in Northeastern and North Central Pennsylvania into New Jersey. These facilities are expected to be in service by June 2012. The Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline consists of a 244-mile Amos to Bedington 765 kV line and a 92-mile, twin circuit 500 kV line from Bedington to Kemptown. This project will reduce the west-to-east power flow on the existing PJM 500 kV transmission paths and provide significant benefits to the constrained area of Washington and Baltimore. The fourth “backbone” project is the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway, consisting of a new 190-mile 500 kV line beginning at Possum Point, Virginia, and terminating at Salem, New Jersey. Electric Power Outlook for Pennsylvania 2008-2013 65
Pennsylvania The Pennsylvania outlook reflects the projections of RFC. Since transmission and generation are not regulated by this Commission, we must look to regional entities for data concerning the status of the electric system. While we can determine the aggregate load for the state’s consumers, we do not know, with complete certainty, what generating facilities will be available to serve these consumers. Planning the enhancement and expansion of transmission capability on a regional basis is one of the primary functions of regional transmission organizations. PJM implements this function pursuant to the Regional Transmission Expansion Planning Protocol set forth in Schedule 6 of the PJM Operating Agreement. A key part of this regional planning protocol is the evaluation of both generation interconnection and merchant transmission interconnection requests, the procedures for which are codified under Part IV of the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff. Although transmission planning is performed on a regional basis, most transmission additions and upgrades in Pennsylvania are planned to support the local delivery system and new generating facilities. PJM’s service area in the state is shown in Figure 3.4. Figure 3.4 PJM Service Area in Pennsylvania 36 Load-serving entities (LSEs) acquire capacity resources by entering into bilateral agreements, participating in the PJM-operated capacity market, owning generation, or pursuing loadmanagement options. The PJM generator interconnection process ensures that new capacity resources satisfy LSE requirements to reliably meet their obligations. All new generation, which anticipates interconnecting and operating in parallel with the PJM transmission grid and participating in the PJM capacity and/or energy markets, must submit an interconnection request to PJM. These requests are placed in queues, or waiting lists, for the performance of feasibility studies and other technical reviews. Proposed new generating plants and increased capacity of existing plants located in Pennsylvania total 20,981 MW through 2015. These facilities are either under study (active), under construction, partially in-service or in-service. 36 PJM 2008 Regional Transmission Expansion Plan, February 27, 2009. 66 Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
