US-based General Electric’s (GE) unit said it is making an additional 15MW of reservation rights available through the PJM OASIS system.
The move will allow market participants to transmit energy sourced in the PJM Interconnection (PJM) regional control area, into the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) regional control area.
Meanwhile, the PJM OASIS system can also be used by Linden VFT customers to obtain reservation rights in the opposite direction, to route energy from NYISO to PJM.
The Linden VFT project, which commenced operation in 2009, can provide New York City with additional power. The project is located in the city of Linden at the intersection of the NYISO Zone J (New York City) and PJM power grids.
Constructed adjacent to GE’ 900MW Linden cogeneration power plant, the project provides 315MW of transmission capacity which is enough to power up to 315,000 homes in the region.
