PJM has approved the first three projects under its new Expedited Interconnection Track (EIT) process, including two battery storage projects and one natural gas generator upgrade totaling over 2,100 MW. This temporary initiative aims to accelerate the connection of large generation resources to the grid by 2027, responding to rising electricity demand mainly driven by data centers and other large consumers.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can access the new PJM fast-track grid connection route that clears projects with state backing faster than normal. Act now if your project meets the state approval and capacity threshold, as only 10 slots per year are available until 2027.
