Below is a summary of the agenda items scheduled to be brought to a vote at the PJM Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee meetings Oct. 23. Each item is listed by agenda number, description and projected time of discussion, followed by a summary of the issue and links to prior coverage in RTO Insider.
RTO Insider will cover the discussions and votes.
Markets and Reliability Committee
Consent Agenda (9:05-9:10)
The committee will be asked to endorse as part of its consent agenda:
B. proposed revisions to Manual 3A: Energy Management System Model Updates and Quality Assurance drafted through periodic review of the document. The proposed language reflects the sunsetting of the Data Management Subcommittee and its replacement with the Modeling Users Forum, which was intended to allow for a long-term perspective. (See “Stakeholders Endorse Manual Revisions Reflecting Creation of Modeling Users Forum,” PJM OC Briefs: Oct. 8, 2025.)
Endorsements (9:10-10:10)
- Wind and Solar Resource Dispatch in Real-time Market Clearing Engines (9:10-9:30)
PJM’s Vijay Shah will present a proposal to rework how wind and solar resources are dispatched in the real-time energy market. It would establish an Effective EcoMax parameter meant to more accurately capture how renewable resources are forecast to operate. It also would limit their ramping to 20% of their installed capacity per minute to reduce system volatility. (See “Renewable Dispatch Proposal Endorsed,” PJM MIC Briefs: Aug. 6, 2025.)
The committee will be asked to endorse the proposal and corresponding revisions to the tariff and Operating Agreement.

- Resource Scheduling Prior to the Day-ahead Energy Market (9:30-9:50)
PJM’s Phil D’Antonio will present tariff and OA language to implement the offer capping of resources scheduled in advance of the day-ahead energy market by committing them on their cost-based offers. The proposal was approved by the Market Implementation Committee during its Sept. 10 meeting with the intention of subsequently developing governing document language.
The committee will be asked to endorse both the proposal and the corresponding tariff and OA language. PJM would seek same-day endorsement by the MC if approved by the MRC.

- Manual 14D Revisions (9:50-10:10)
PJM’s Michael Herman will present proposed revisions to Manual 14D: Generation Operational Requirements to codify FERC-approved requirements for resource owners seeking to deactivate their units (ER25-1501). If the resource intends to participate in capacity auctions, it must provide at least a year’s notice ahead of its desired deactivation, while those not participating would follow the must-offer exception process. The changes also would revise elements of the deactivation avoidable cost credit and increase the number of documents that would be posted publicly. (See “1st Read on Manual Revisions Detailing Generation Deactivation Process,” PJM OC Briefs: July 10, 2025.)
The committee will be asked to endorse the proposed manual revisions.
Issue Tracking: Enhancements to Deactivation Rules
Members Committee
Consent Agenda (11:05-11:10)
The committee will be asked to endorse as part of its consent agenda:
B. proposed revisions to the tariff and OA to allow demand response resources to offer regulation-only service at sites where energy may be injected onto the grid, so long as the arrangement is reflected in a net energy metering agreement with their electric distribution company. (See “PJM Reviews Proposal on Regulation Resources at NEM Sites,” PJM MRC/MC Briefs: Aug. 20, 2025.)
Issue Tracking: DER Regulation Market Only Participation at NEM Customer Sites
Endorsements (11:10-11:30)
- Resource Scheduling Prior to the Day-ahead Energy Market (11:10-11:30)
If endorsed by the MRC, D’Antonio will review the offer capping proposal for a same-day endorsement at the MC.
