Generation Asset Monitor

Generation Asset MonitorTM (GAM) tracks the interconnection queues in PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE, and MISO.

Generation Asset MonitorTM provides an outlook for the development timeline of new generation projects and plant retirements in ISO-NE, NYISO, PJM & MISO. For each project, ESAI assigns a “probability of completion factor in percentage terms” that is then applied to develop a forward assessment of likely capacity additions and retirements in each pool.

Generation Asset MonitorTM provides:

  • Forward assessment of likely capacity additions in PJM, NYISO, ISO-NE, and MISO.
  • Details on all announced retirements and projections for all units at risk of retirement.
  • GAM Database is published monthly and provides a summary overview of significant changes from the previous month.
  • For each RTO, ESAI provides project-by-project level details such as project status, queue numbers, project name, developer permit status, financing status, PPA status, and projected online date.
  • GAM has detailed regional estimates for renewable energy asset additions, fossil additions, and projects at risk of retirement by year for each RTO.

Ethan Howland reports in Utility Dive that power plant owners have started the process of potentially retiring 3,228 MW of coal-fired generation in the PJM Interconnection’s footprint this month, according to the grid operator’s generator deactivation list. Another 1,024 MW of coal shut down last year. Looking at the explanations for the planned retirements, our Julia Criscuolo, ESAI Power’s Manager of Renewables and Emissions, said about a third are driven by environmental regulations, a quarter by unfavorable economics and roughly 20% by “end of life” plant issues.
