Baker 345 kV (queue ID PJM-C01-1131) is a proposed natural gas-fired generation project in Lawrence County, Kentucky, with a total capacity of 479 MW. The development project is sponsored by Kentucky Power Company, and AEP is listed as the associated utility. It would connect to the grid at the Baker 345 kV point of interconnection and is classified as a generation interconnection request.
The project is in the interconnection queue of PJM Interconnection, the regional transmission organization. It entered the queue on April 10, 2026, and is part of PJM's C01 study phase. Its queue status is listed as active. The proposed commercial operation date is September 30, 2030. The available data does not report the status of an interconnection agreement.
