Dec 5 (Reuters) - U.S. electrical grid operator PJM Interconnection said on Friday that it received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Thursday to simplify its rules for connecting generation resources at the distribution level.

FERC has allowed PJM to drop a rule that required certain distribution-level interconnections to be processed under federal instead of state and local rules.

Starting April 28, 2026, all resources in PJM’s region will be processed under state and local rules and agreements.

PJM said the change will help reallocate time and resources to their work on transmission-level interconnections and provide greater clarity to project developers earlier in the interconnection process.
