The White House and PJM's governors called for a special backstop capacity auction to procure $15 billion worth of new dispatchable generation, which is to be paid for by data centers.

FERC and the organized power markets it oversees are facing huge challenges in trying to meet rising demand reliably and affordably.

Several stakeholders presented proposals for how PJM could address accelerating load growth as the Critical Issue Fast Path process on large load growth wraps up its second phase.

William & Mary Law School announced it has appointed former FERC Chair Mark Christie as the 2025 Lowance Fellow, a visiting professor of the practice of law and the founding director of the school’s new Center for Energy Law & Policy.

PJM’s Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed by acclamation a PJM proposal to rework how the RTO determines whether a new generation point-of-interconnection falls under federal or state jurisdiction.

Key challenges in the review are tightening supply and demand, the uncertain cost of new capacity and accounting for changes PJM has made to how it identifies reliability risks and determines the capacity value for different resource types.

PJM’s Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed two proposals to revise the RTO’s ELCC formula to add two new generation categories and limit the penalties resources face if their accreditation declines between auctions.
