PJM "Hunger Games" Pits Energy Storage, Solar Against Natural Gas, Nuclear

Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

PJM grid operator winnowed 811 power project applications down to 715 projects, with energy storage leading at 314 projects, solar at 117, and solar-plus-storage hybrids at 37, collectively outnumbering natural gas at 147 and nuclear at 24. The grid operator is also deploying a Google AI tool to accelerate project approvals, addressing years of criticism about slow processing.

Worth noting

Approved projects still must clear regulatory and interconnection hurdles before construction; approval does not guarantee deployment.
