JUNO 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.
