Assumption that the max hourly interchange value reached between Jan 2019 - Dec 2023 is representative for available transmission capacity between BA's. — The Mineral Basin Solar Project does not appear to add an interconnection between the New York and PJM grids, and is just feeding solar electricity into the New York Grid. No planned interconnections oulined in the Ready-To-Go Transmission Projects 2023 report.
