Wayne - Byron 345 kV (queue ID PJM-C01-1786) is a proposed solar and battery storage hybrid generation project located in Ogle County, Illinois. Developed by ENGIE IR Holdings LLC, the development project has a total proposed capacity of 500 MW and combines solar photovoltaic generation with energy storage. The project is named for its planned point of interconnection, the Wayne - Byron 345 kV transmission line, which lies within the service territory of the utility ComEd.
The project is listed as active in the interconnection queue of PJM Interconnection, the regional transmission organization, under a Generation Interconnection service request. It entered the queue on April 27, 2026, and is being evaluated as part of PJM's Cycle 1 (C01) study phase. The developer has proposed a commercial operation date of September 30, 2030. No interconnection agreement status or breakdown of the individual solar and storage capacities is reported in the available queue data.
