Pleasant Valley 138 kV is a proposed battery energy storage development project in McHenry County, Illinois, with a total capacity of 250 MW. The project is being developed by Hamilton Energy Center Project, LLC and would connect to the transmission system at the Pleasant Valley 138 kV point of interconnection, within the service territory of the utility ComEd. It is a standalone storage project and has no other generation components.
The project is listed in the PJM Interconnection queue under queue ID PJM-C01-1387 and is classified as a Generation Interconnection request. It entered the queue on April 27, 2026, and its status is active. The project is in the C01 study phase, part of PJM's cycle-based interconnection process. Its proposed commercial operation date is August 15, 2029. The available data does not indicate that an interconnection agreement has been executed.
