Gaston Green Acres Solar, LLC and Bethel NC Hwy 11 Solar, LLC v. PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.

On January 8, 2026, Gaston Green Acres Solar, LLC (Gaston) and Bethel NC Hwy 11 Solar, LLC (Bethel) submitted a complaint against PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM). Gaston and Bethel (together, complainants) are developing solar energy generating projects in PJM territory and experienced an “extreme” increase of allocated network upgrade costs after a restudy.

Complainants claim that the PJM tariff is unjust and unreasonable in that it does not allow complainants, and others similarly situated, to withdraw from the queue without penalty. Complainants accordingly requested that the Commission find that the tariff is unjust and unreasonable, replace the terms in question with suggested language, and issue an order directing PJM to refund the full amounts of complainants’ respective readiness deposits. PJM filed its response on January 28, 2026; Gaston filed its answer on February 12, 2026; and PJM filed its answer on February 27, 2026.

Agenda item E-2 is likely an order connected to this complaint.

McKenzie Electric Cooperative, Inc. (McKenzie) filed a complaint against Basin Electric Power Cooperative (Basin) on June 10, 2025. McKenzie alleged that Basin has engaged in a nominal and sham transaction with Rural Utilities Servies (RUS) in the form of a $928,000 loan for the purpose of evading Commission jurisdiction. Among other requests, McKenzie requests Commission findings that the transaction in question is void or ineffective for jurisdictional purposes and is inconsistent with FPA Section 204, and requests that the Commission confirm its regulatory authority over Basin and the affected assets or services. Basin submitted a motion to dismiss on July 16, 2025.

Agenda item E-2 is likely an order on Basin’s motion to dismiss.

On October 1, 2021, System Energy Resources, Inc. (SERI) submitted a proposal to amend its proposed changes to SERI’s cost-based formula rate under the Unit Power Sales Agreement (UPSA), through which SERI sells the capacity and energy produced by the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (Grand Gulf) to four of Entergy’s operating companies. The filing proposes changes to the UPSA to allow for the inclusion of prepaid and accrued pension costs in rate base associated with SERI’s qualified pension plans.

After failed settlement discussions and lengthy proceedings, the Commission issued Opinion No. 593, order on initial decision approving SERI’s proposal on November 20, 2025. On December 22, 2025, the Arkansas Public Service Commission filed a request for rehearing. The Commission denied the request on January 22, 2026.
