H.A. Wagner Generating Station
Stakeholder opinions were sharply divided at the PJM Members Committee’s meeting regarding RTO proposals to allow high capacity factor resources to be sped through the interconnection queue and revise aspects of the capacity market.
Several public interest organizations have filed a complaint with FERC contending PJM’s capacity market inflates consumer prices by not counting generators operating on RMR agreements as a form of capacity.
A spike in PJM capacity prices and generator deactivations could increase monthly costs in Maryland by as much as 24% for some.
FERC has established settlement judge procedures to consider the validity of rate schedules filed by Talen Energy to continue operating its Brandon Shores and H.A. Wagner generators past their retirement date.
PJM has requested that Talen Energy continue operating a portion of its H.A. Wagner Generating Station an additional three years beyond its requested 2025 deactivation date.
