§7–1207.
The Commission shall include specifications in a solicitation issued under § 7–1206 of this subtitle that require each proposal for a dispatchable energy generation project and large capacity energy resource project to:
(1)if the project is a natural gas energy generating station, ensure that the project can be converted to use only hydrogen or a zero–emissions biofuel as the energy source when the Commission determines that the conversion is feasible;
(2)include a detailed description of the timeline for construction of the project, including:
(i)identifying the entity that has ownership or site control of the project site;
(ii)queue position for PJM approval;
(iii)the ability to procure materials, including turbines and other pipeline materials; and
(iv)any information that demonstrates the applicant’s:
1. readiness to apply for a certificate of public convenience and necessity under § 7–207 or § 7–207.4 of this title as soon as is reasonably feasible after receiving approval for the project, including the anticipated application date; and
2. ability to develop the project within the timeline presented;
(3)include a description of the location of the project site, including:
(i)the proximity of the site to existing transmission lines and rights–of–way; and
(ii)whether the project would be retrofitting a current or previous generating station site;
(4)if applicable, include a description of:
(i)the type and amount of co–located energy generation from Tier 1 renewable sources, as defined in § 7–701 of this title, that would be used with the project;
(ii)the amount of co–located energy storage that would be used with the project;
(iii)the use of carbon capture or sequestration technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the project; and
(iv)the amount of hydrogen or zero–emissions biofuels that the project will mix with natural gas for energy generation; and
(5)state the emissions intensity of the generation output over the life of the project.
