Demand response providers will face increased scrutiny and be required to provide additional documentation under changes given final approval by the Markets and Reliability Committee March 28.

The new rules require Curtailment Service Providers bidding into the capacity auction to have a company officer sign a certification attesting to the company’s intent to physically deliver MWs. Bids will be made through an offer template to increase the consistency of information supplied. PJM also will increase its scrutiny of delivery zones in which CSPs’ bids exceed DR penetration thresholds.

The changes involved modifications to the OATT, Operating Agreement and Manual 11. Click here for details.
