The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed an RTO-sponsored package to standardize variable operations and maintenance costs.

PJM CEO Manu Asthana said 40 GW in planned retirements and lagging construction of new generation is raising questions about long-term grid reliability.

PJM CEO Manu Asthana will deliver opening remarks to the MRC, followed by a presentation on diversity, equity and inclusion by chief DEI officer Michael Coyle.

PJM's MRC rejected two proposals intended to allow market sellers to represent a greater degree of the risk they take on when entering the capacity market.

Here's a summary of the agenda items scheduled to be brought to a vote at the PJM Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee meetings Wednesday.

Load interests continued to oppose PJM’s proposal to change the market seller offer cap, a month after it failed to meet the two-thirds endorsement threshold.

PJM members failed to find consensus on any of four proposed sets of capacity auction parameters, with the RTO’s proposal falling short of the necessary votes.

The PJM MRC will vote on rules governing the inclusion of variable environmental charges in cost-based offers and four sets of capacity auction parameters.

PJM members approved a change to the Consensus Based Issue Resolution process and received briefings on options for capacity auction parameters.

PJM's proposal to change its capacity offer cap failed to win stakeholders' blessing, but the RTO may submit it anyway, seeking a FERC OK for its next auction.
