    On November 19, 2021, the Commission issued an order in the above-
captioned dockets, which accepted and suspended PJM Interconnection, 
L.L.C.'s (PJM) filing concerning transmission owner (TO) Initial 
Funding \1\ for five months, to become effective February 1, 2022,

costs that it incurs to provide interconnection service to the 
interconnection customer, and the transmission owner subsequently 
recovers the network upgrade capital costs through charges that 
provide a return on and of these network upgrade capital costs from 
the interconnection customer. Midcontinent Indep. Sys. Operator, 
Inc., 187 FERC ] 61,170, at P 1 n.1 (2024) (Order to Show Cause).

    On June 13, 2024, the Commission issued the Order to Show Cause
