U.S. Dept. of Justice Issues Civil Investigative Demand to PJM

The U.S Department of Justice has issued a Civil Investigative Demand, which is similar to a subpoena, to PJM.

Under CID Number 27901, the DOJ is seeking all documents related to the PJM interconnection process for each proposed generating facility (300 MW and above) or planned upgrade to an existing facility (300 MW and above) that filed a request with PJM to interconnect in the MAAC sub-region of PJM in the last ten years.

The DOJ is seeking this material in connection with the Antitrust Division's investigation into the proposed acquisition of Pepco Holdings, Inc. by Exelon Corporation.
