PJM said the proposed projects represent new build and uprates of nuclear and naturalgas, as well as new battery storage. Final agreements for TC2 projects are scheduled to be completed in late 2026. Adding RRI projects to TC2 is key to bringing additional capacity to the PJM markets before 2030.
The uprates apply to existing naturalgas (1.978 GW), nuclear (496 MWe), coal and onshore wind resources. Of the new projects, half are gas (6.143 GW), five are batteries (2.275 GW) and one is nuclear (887MWe). MW - 2030 in service Lackawanna County -- Lackawanna - PPL - Uprate NaturalGas - 78.6
