As of September 9, 2026, the West Virginia Public Service Commission rejected a request to delay evidentiary proceedings for NextEra Energy Transmission’s 107.5-mile MidAtlantic Resiliency Link (MARL) transmission project, keeping hearings scheduled for October 26–November 2. [1] PJM selected the 500-kV project in 2023 to address emerging grid needs, but regulators are reviewing questions about the line’s route, its continued need, and the potential effect of a recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) order strengthening large-load interconnection rules. NextEra agreed to the proposed delay but maintained that MARL remains necessary and should be unaffected by the FERC order because it is a PJM regional transmission expansion project rather than a network upgrade tied to a specific data-center interconnection.
