AI Summary

A flood of power projects awaiting connection to the PJM grid is finally easing, with applications led by energy‑storage projects, followed by natural‑gas, solar and wind proposals, while coal appears only in a small “other” category. The order of projects that move from concept to construction will depend on which resources are prepared to compete for limited slots. PJM, one of several regional grid operators established in the late 1990s, periodically issues new capacity calls to secure additional generation needed for future demand.
