220 GW of New Powergen Projects Seek to Connect to PJM, Half Natgas

Although Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (J.S.) has just hired a lapdog to attack the PJM Interconnection grid as part of his campaign for president (see Shapiro Hires NRDC Attorney as Lapdog to Attack Utility Cos.), the grid manager is doing yeoman's work to ensure there's enough electricity flowing for the 67+ million people (from 13 states plus the D.C. swamp) to keep the lights on. PJM reports that under its new "first-ready, first-served approach" that prioritizes projects that are more advanced and better positioned to move forward, it has received 811 proposed new power generation projects, capable of generating 220 gigawatts of electricity, nearly half of which (106 GW) would come from natural gas-fired power plants.
