PennsylvaniaThe Pennsylvania electric power outlook reflects the projections of RFC. Since transmission andgeneration are not regulated by this Commission, and since the bulk electric system is planned on aregional rather than a state basis, we must look to regional entities for data concerning the currentand future condition of the bulk electric system. While we can determine the aggregate load forthe state’s consumers, we do not know, with complete certainty, what generating facilities will beavailable to serve these consumers.Planning the enhancement and expansion of transmission capability on a regional basis is one ofthe primary functions of regional transmission organizations. PJM implements this functionpursuant to the Regional Transmission Expansion Planning Protocol set forth in Schedule 6 ofthe PJM Operating Agreement. A key part of this regional planning protocol is the evaluation ofboth generation interconnection and merchant transmission interconnection requests, theprocedures for which are codified under Part IV of the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff.Although transmission planning is performed on a regional basis, most transmission additionsand upgrades in Pennsylvania are planned to support the local delivery system and newgenerating facilities. PJM’s service area in the state is shown in Figure 57. 72Figure 57 PJM service area in Pennsylvania72 PJM 2009 Regional Transmission Expansion Plan, Feb. 26, 2010.70Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
Load-serving entities (LSEs) acquire capacity resources by entering into bilateral agreements,participating in the PJM-operated capacity market, owning generation, and/or pursuing loadmanagement options. The PJM generator interconnection process ensures that new capacityresources satisfy LSE requirements to reliably meet their obligations.All new generation, which anticipates interconnecting and operating in parallel with the PJMtransmission grid and participating in the PJM capacity and/or energy markets, must submit aninterconnection request to PJM. These requests are placed in queues, or waiting lists, for theperformance of feasibility studies and other technical reviews.Proposed new generating plants and increased capacity of existing plants located in Pennsylvaniatotal 20,688 MW through 2015. These facilities are either under study (active), underconstruction, partially in-service or in-service. Natural gas projects make up 61.5 percent ofqueued capacity. This additional capacity may be used to serve Pennsylvania customers or outof-statecustomers. See Figure 58. Appendix B provides the status of generator interconnectionrequests located in Pennsylvania.Figure 58 PJM queued generating capacity in Pennsylvania by fuel typeNatural Gas61.5%Coal5.4%Nuclear21.0%Solar0.8%Oil3.9%Hydro1.7%Other1.6%Biomass0.3%DieselWind 0.2%2.9%Methane0.7%The generating capacity located in Pennsylvania totals 46,568 MW. 73 As stated earlier, the outputof some of these facilities may serve loads outside of Pennsylvania. See Figure 59.The state’s 2009 aggregate non-coincident summer peak demand was 27,580 MW. In 2009,Pennsylvania’s net electric generation totaled 218,378 GWh, down 1.8 percent from 2008. Netgeneration from natural gas increased 55.7 percent from 2008. Pumped storage facilities used 56073 Electric Power Generation Association.Electric Power Outlook for Pennsylvania 2009-2014 71
