PJM Interconnection on Oct. 15 filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an executed Wholesale Market Participation Agreement with Zions Town Center LLC and interconnecting transmission owner Virginia Electric and Power for a 2-MW battery storage project.

“PJM is submitting this Agreement for filing because the Wholesale Market Participant intends to engage in wholesale sales in the PJM markets from a generating facility connected to Transmission Owner’s distribution facilities,” PJM said.

The agreement covers the Zions Energy Storage project, to be located at 164 Camp Creek Parkway, Gordonsville, Virginia. It is a 2-MW (maximium facility output), inverter-based, battery generating facility.

Under this agreement, on or before Jan. 30, 2016, the developer must demonstrate commercial operation of all generating units.
