BEACH, Fla., Dec. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NextEra Energy Transmission
MidAtlantic, LLC, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Transmission,
LLC, today announced that PJM has selected its transmission
proposal, the MidAtlantic Resiliency Link, to address the western
cluster of reliability needs for the 2022 Regional Transmission
Expansion Plan Window 3. The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link was
selected as part of a set of transmission solutions necessary for
addressing the regional grid's reliability needs in the coming
years.
"We are pleased that our proposal was selected by PJM as it will
bring increased reliability and resiliency to the electric grid
given the critical energy needs of the region," said Matt Valle, president of NextEra Energy
Transmission. "We look forward to collaborating with all
communities and stakeholders to successfully develop and execute on
this project for PJM customers."
The MidAtlantic Resiliency Link emerged from the PJM planning
process. By building a new approximately 130-mile 500-kV
transmission line and a new 500/138-kV substation, the MidAtlantic
Resiliency Link will improve local and regional transmission
constraints and support the growth of renewable energy resources
while providing additional capacity to meet future system
needs.
NextEra Energy Transmission MidAtlantic will finance, develop,
own, construct, operate and maintain the MidAtlantic Resiliency
Link.
