AlphaGen Proposes 450 MW of Additional High-Reliability Generation Across PJM
STAMFORD, Conn., March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Alpha Generation, LLC (“AlphaGen”), manager of one of the largest power infrastructure portfolios in the United States, today announced it has submitted plans to supply approximately 450 megawatts (“MW”) of additional electric generation at four existing power stations across Maryland, New Jersey and Ohio.
AlphaGen, a strategic partnership formed and owned by an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC, submitted plans in response to PJM’s Reliability Resource Initiative (“RRI”), which is designed to attract shovel-ready, high-reliability projects to connect to the grid on an accelerated basis.
Curt Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of AlphaGen, said:
We submitted these proposals in response to increasing demand, the need for reliable, dispatchable electric generation to support economic growth, and with an expectation that competitive market prices will continue to signal that private investment is desirable,
“Experienced, existing competitive power providers like AlphaGen are well positioned to help meet the demand for new power generation given the significant resources, time and capital that is needed to do so.”
Recent PJM capacity market pricing is signaling a need for additional power generation to meet demand growth fueled by electrification, onshoring of manufacturing, and data centers.
The AlphaGen projects include a 300+ MW increase (enough to power roughly 250,000 homes) in generating output across two existing highly efficient natural gas-fueled units in New Jersey, with the remainder driven by meaningful up-rates across three facilities in New Jersey, Maryland, and Ohio that are currently owned and managed by AlphaGen. All facilities are expected to gain efficiency and operational flexibility when producing electricity along with increased available capacity as a result.
Morgan said,
AlphaGen’s projects are expected to score highly against PJM’s stated RRI criteria and bring power and capacity to the states where it is most needed,
“We believe these investments by a competitive generator will be a welcome sight for a market in need of additional power generation.”
