Markets and Reliability Committee
2. PJM Manuals (9:10-9:20)
Members will be asked to endorse the following manual change:
- Manual 18: Capacity Market. Changes conform with FERC’s Dec. 22 order accepting for filing revisions to the Reliability Assurance Agreement (ER16-333). They address the circumstances under which fixed resource requirement (FRR) entities aren’t mandated to meet the percentage of internal resource requirement, how such entities may terminate their five-year minimum commitment period and alternative election dates for new FRR entities. (See IMEA Reaps Limited Relief from Capacity Rule Change.)
3. End-of-Life Transmission Projects (9:20-9:35)

The work is not intended to address any cost allocation issues and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter.
