NextGen
NextGen is PJM’s next-generation platform for interconnection requests, providing interconnection customers with a streamlined process for submitting Application and Studies Agreement (ASA) requests for Generation Interconnection, Long-Term Firm Transmission Service and Merchant Transmission agreements.
At launch, NextGen will be used for all Cycle #1 submissions, including Generation Interconnection, Long-Term Firm and Merchant Transmission. Other types of service requests will continue to be supported in QueuePoint until NextGen is ready to accommodate them.
Please note: There is no change to existing Fast Lane, TC1, TC2 or RRI projects or proposed submissions at this time. For those queue projects, please continue to use QueuePoint. Additional instructions regarding project migration will be provided later in the year.
Account Creation
To request access to NextGen, you must be logged in as a user from a Member or Non-Member company in PJM Account Manager. If your company isn't registered, follow the user guide instructions to create a company account before requesting access.
NextGen features a Company Profile, which associates users with their organization. While each user must have their own account, they will be linked to their company's profile, allowing them to access and manage their organization’s portfolio of interconnection projects within NextGen.
PJM is committed to continuously enhancing NextGen, expanding its capabilities to eventually support all interconnection applications from submission through commercial operation, streamlining the end-to-end interconnection process.

Notice: The pre-application process for small generation interconnection requests (see OATT, Subpart G of Part IV) will be retired upon the effective date of PJM’s transition to the new interconnection process.
In lieu of this pre-application process retirement, prospective interconnection customers may access the Queue Scope tool to screen potential points of interconnection as an alternative capability for assessing generator impacts on the grid.
Please visit the Planning Center page and scroll down to the section on the Queue Scope tool.
For additional information on the transition to the new interconnection process, please visit the Interconnection Process Subcommittee page for upcoming meetings, posted training material, and an FAQ section.
