MAP 4.26: PJM Service Area in New Jersey
PJM operates the electric transmission system for
the delivery area served by several Transmission
Owners in New Jersey: Atlantic Electric (AE),
Jersey Central Power & Light (JCPL, a subsidiary
of FE/GPU), Public Service Electric & Gas
Company (PSEG) and Rockland Electric Company
(Rockland) as shown on MAP 4.26. The Neptune
Regional Transmission System interconnects with
the transmission system in New Jersey at
Sayreville substation. The transmission system in
New Jersey delivers power to customers from
native generation and from power imported from
adjacent systems west and south. New Jersey also
exports power to New York and wheels energy
from upstate New York to New York City.
Critical RTEP Issues and Upgrades
Since 2003, a number of factors have continued
collectively and progressively to reduce system
reliability in eastern Mid-Atlantic PJM:
• Load growth
• Power exports to New York City and Long
Island over merchant transmission facilities
• Deactivation/retirement of generation resources
• Sluggish development of new generating
facilities
• Continued reliance on transmission to meet
load deliverability requirements and to obtain
access to more economical sources of power
west of the Delaware River.

Jersey and other areas of eastern Mid-Atlantic PJM
where similar conditions exist.
TABLE 4.26 summarizes key critical issues
facing New Jersey discussed in this report.
State RTEP Overview
4.7.1 – Load Growth and Existing
Generation
Exports by Merchant Transmission
Exports to New York have the impact of new load
in New Jersey. Merchant transmission projects
either in service or currently active in the
interconnection queue for the purpose of delivering
capacity and energy from New Jersey to New York
include:
• The Neptune HVDC project (685 MW)
• The Linden VFT project (330 MW)
• The Bergen O66 project (670 MW)
• The Bergen Q75 project (1200 MW)
As a result of these facilities, the impact of
internal New Jersey load growth is compounded by
the stresses on the transmission system of
4
FIGURE 4.14: Existing Installed Capacity in New Jersey, by Fuel Type
Natural Gas - 6,731 MW
Nuclear - 3,984 MW
Internal Load Growth
Native New Jersey load is served over the
transmission systems of the Transmission Owners
operating in New Jersey: AE, JCPL, PSEG and
Rockland. The load growth forecasts for the
geographic area served by Transmission Owners
are shown in TABLE 4.1 in Section 4.0.2. The
summer peak load growth rate for these four zones
ranges from 0.5% to 2.0% annually over the 10year period through 2017.
Forecasted loads are modeled in power flow
studies used to develop PJM’s RTEP through
December 2007. PJM’s RTEP includes baseline
transmission upgrades in New Jersey to meet
expected 2012 peak load conditions. Beyond 2012,
additional transmission system expansion will be
needed to meet expected peak load supply
requirements.

potentially having to accommodate more than
2,800 MW of planned exports of power from
eastern PJM to New York City and Long Island and
energy wheeled from upstate New York to New
York City. About one-quarter of that amount –
685 MW - began in July 2007 with the commercial
operation of the Neptune project.

TABLE 4.27 includes generating resource
interconnection requests located in New Jersey.
PJM received these requests during the windows
of time associated with Queues A through T (as of
December 31, 2007). The generator
interconnection projects in this table are either
under construction or active in PJM’s
interconnection process. Section 2.2 of this report
describes how generation interconnection requests
are modeled in RTEP studies.
For this report, generating resources that are
fully in-service (designated “IS”) are included in the
summary tabulation above but are NOT separately
enumerated in TABLE 4.27.
A status code of “IS-NC” (in-service, no
capacity) indicates a generator that is in-service for
energy only. Such units have not requested
consideration for capacity status.
A status code of “ISP” (in-service, partial)
denotes a generating resource that is only partially
in-service and has not reached full capacity status.

4.7.3 – Anticipated Generation Deactivations
Known generator deactivations in New Jersey
between October 2003 and December 2007 are
summarized in TABLE 4.28 and shown in MAP
4.29. The absence of these units has a quantifiable
impact on baseline reliability in New Jersey,
compounded by forecasted summer peak load
growth and sluggish new generation development.
Major transmission upgrades required to address
baseline reliability issues driven by these
deactivations are summarized in Section 4.7.5
together with other known baseline reliability
transmission needs. In addition, Section 3.5.2 of
this report addressed generator deactivation not
only in New Jersey but throughout the rest of
eastern Mid-Atlantic PJM as well. Neither New
Jersey, nor any state within PJM, acts in isolation.
Understanding system conditions throughout
eastern Mid-Atlantic PJM in particular is key to
understanding impacts on New Jersey itself. Thus,
while this report provides results in Section 4 on a
state-by-state basis, RTEP analysis is based on
the aggregate requirements of the entire PJM
system.
NOTE
PSEG indicated in July 2007, that Hudson Unit #2,
originally considered for deactivation as late as
November 2006, will remain operational.
Accordingly, PSEG has withdrawn its deactivation
request.

4.7.4 – Merchant Transmission
Interconnection Requests
Merchant transmission interconnection requests
queued in PJM that include a terminal in New
Jersey are shown in TABLE 4.29 and shown on
MAP 4.30.
PJM’s RTEP, representing plans completed and
approved by the PJM Board through December
2007 currently only encompasses the upgrades
required to accommodate the Linden VFT and
Bergen HVDC merchant transmission
interconnection requests.
• The Linden VFT project (G22_MTX5) will
connect PSEG’s 230 kV transmission system in
the Linden area with ConEd’s Goethals 345 kV
substation on Staten Island. The project, under
construction, will consist of three variable
frequency transformers and permit 330 MW
of firm transmission withdrawal rights. A 4th
quarter 2009 in-service date is currently
anticipated.
• The Bergen HVDC (O66) project (Hudson
Transmission Project) proposal would
interconnect PSEG and New York City, from
PSEG’s Bergen 230 kV substation in northern
New Jersey to Consolidated Edison’s W. 49th
Street 345 kV substation. Firm Transmission
Withdrawal Rights of 670 MW are requested. A
late 2010 in-service date is currently
anticipated. If constructed, the facility will
withdraw 670 MWs of firm energy from Bergen
station in northern New Jersey. A facilities study
was underway as of December 31, 2007.
System Impact study results have revealed that
the 670 MW withdrawal of power at Bergen
would introduce almost two dozen overloads,
requiring $450 million of network upgrades

• PJM’s queue also includes two additional
merchant transmission requests – S68 and
S104 – which are in the Feasibility Study phase
of PJM’s RTEP interconnection process.
In addition, the following merchant transmission
projects are also under development:
Additional discussion of the impact of merchant
transmission interconnection requests on eastern
Mid-Atlantic PJM can be found in Section 3.5.4.
• The Bergen 230 kV project at queue position
Q75 – would include an AC circuit with Phase
Angle Regulator control. PJM has completed a
Feasibility Study with a requested 1,200 MW
firm withdrawal from Bergen. The study
revealed the need for over 1,200 reinforcements
in New Jersey and other areas of PJM caused
by reliability criteria violations. While specific
individual fixes for each of the individual
overloaded facilities have not been fully
determined, based upon the extent of the
upgrades required, PJM estimates that $500
million or more of network upgrades will be
required. Detailed system reinforcements are
being identified and estimated in the System
Impact Study for this project.
PJM © 2008
NOTE
The System Impact Study for Project Q75 was
issued on February 12, 2008, identifying the need
for over $1.1 billion of network upgrades to permit
interconnection of this project.

TABLE 4.30.
System reliability trends that have emerged in
New Jersey, and throughout eastern PJM, over the
past ten years constitute a classic system planning
study:
• Growing native load
• Deactivation/reactivation of existing generation
resources
• Sluggish development of new generating
resources
• Continued reliance on transmission to meet
load deliverability requirements and access to
cheaper sources of power from west of New
Jersey
• Exports to New York
Together, these collectively have a growing
negative impact on sustained system reliability
in New Jersey and throughout eastern MidAtlantic PJM.
The extent to which eastern Mid-Atlantic PJM
continues to rely on transfers into the area to meet
load-serving needs also has a quantifiable,
negative impact on the high voltage backbone
transmission system west and southwest of
New Jersey.

State RTEP Overview
4.7.6 – Interconnection Requests for
Generation Powered by Renewable Fuel
Sources
PJM’s RTEP process offers a structure that
assures consistent, equal opportunity across fuel
types while flexible enough to adapt to specific
technical realities and market challenges.
Presently, PJM’s queues include interconnection
requests in New Jersey for plants fueled by wind,
hydro, biomass and methane, as summarized in
TABLE 4.32 and shown on MAP 4.33.
While some renewable resources can operate
in a manner similar to the traditional fossil fueled
power plants, other renewable energy sources,
such as wind, are recognized as intermittent
resources. Their ability to generate power is
directly determined by the immediate availability
and/or magnitude of their specific “fuel.” For
example, wind turbines can generate electricity
only when wind speed is within a range consistent
with the physical specifications of the related
turbines. This presents challenges with respect to
real-time operational dispatch and specific capacity
value. To address the latter issue, PJM has
established a set of business rules unique to
intermittent resources that provide for the
determination of credible capacity values robust
enough to represent capacity during the PJM
summer peak period.

NOTE
As a matter of internal RTO process and
accounting, hydro plants are not categorized as
renewable resources. However, PJM understands
that some states account for hydro as a renewable
and, thus, to facilitate state understanding of such
activity, hydro is enumerated here merely for
reporting purposes.
