Zion 345 kV (queue ID PJM-C01-1574) is a proposed 50 MW battery energy storage development project in Lake County, Illinois. The developer is Zion Battery Storage, LLC. The project would connect at the Zion 345 kV point of interconnection, located within the service territory of ComEd (Commonwealth Edison).
The project is listed as active in the PJM Interconnection queue, which it entered on April 27, 2026, under a Generation Interconnection service request. It is part of PJM's C01 study phase, the first cycle of the grid operator's reformed interconnection process. The proposed commercial operation date is June 1, 2030.
