PJM stakeholders are questioning the process for how a transmission development proposal will proceed following a debate at last week’s Planning Committee meeting.

American Electric Power’s portion of Duff-Rockport-Coleman project has been placed on hold and will not be modeled in the 2018 RTEP, PJM told the TEAC.

American Municipal Power contended that PJM’s limited review of transmission owner projects is not rigorous enough to ensure the RTO is avoiding unnecessary costs.

Stakeholders at last week’s Planning Committee meeting pushed PJM to expand its scope on several transmission-related issues.

PJM remains disinclined to create procedures to analyze any other cost containment guarantees beyond construction cost caps.

American Municipal Power (AMP) continued its criticism of PJM’s grid spending, grilling utility officials during a marathon TEAC meeting.

PJM postponed a planned vote at last week's Planning Committee on its proposal to adjust the analysis process for market efficiency transmission projects.

PJM presented the Planning Committee with issues it sees with its current process for evaluating market efficiency projects.

Stakeholders approved PJM’s 2017 installed reserve margin (IRM) calculations at last week’s Planning Committee meeting.

PJM has reduced its installed reserve margin, largely because of a drop in the equivalent forced outage rate.
