About

Cheltenham 500 kV (PJM queue ID PJM-C01-1268) is a proposed 400 MW battery energy storage development project located in Prince George's County, Maryland. The project is being developed by Lighthouse Keys II, LLC and would connect to the transmission system at the Cheltenham 500 kV point of interconnection, within the service territory of the utility PEPCO. It is classified as a standalone storage project and has been submitted under the generation interconnection service type.

The project entered the PJM Interconnection queue on April 27, 2026, and currently holds an active status. It is being evaluated as part of PJM's Cycle 1 (C01) study phase. The developer has proposed a commercial operation date of April 2, 2029.
