You may have noticed the new name on the masthead at the top of this page.

We’ve made it official. Under threat of ruinous litigation by PJM, we have reluctantly agreed to change our name to RTO Insider. Over the next few months we’ll also be transitioning to a new web address, RTOInsider.com.

We’ll have more to say about this matter soon. The story will make you angry — and make you laugh. Right now, however, we’re still working out a settlement to get PJM’s foot off our throat.

What we can tell you now is that the name change won’t mean any difference in the depth or independence of our coverage: same intensive coverage, less contentious name.

We also want to emphasize the positives. Our readership and Web traffic continue to grow steadily. To improve response time, we will be moving our website to a faster, dedicated server. And we plan to roll out expanded coverage of the industry and the PJM region later this year.

So great things are ahead. R.I.P. PJM Insider. Long live RTO Insider.

We remain: Your eyes and ears at the PJM Interconnection.
