The PJM Operating Committee endorsed manual revisions that included the elimination of a requirement that actual meter test results should be provided to the RTO.

Talen Energy’s proposal to buy more than 2.5 GW of generation from Energy Capital Partners will lead to a more concentrated PJM market and greater market power for the fourth largest generator in the RTO, the Monitor said in comments filed with FERC.

The PJM Market Implementation Committee endorsed an RTO proposal to establish penalties for load management and price-responsive demand resources that underperform during pre-emergency deployments.

PJM’s Independent Market Monitor warned the cost of wholesale power in the RTO will continue to rise with the rapid addition of data center load without enough capacity to serve it.

PJM has updated its thinking on the design of its reliability backstop procurement to meet rising data center load, gravitating toward a model in which the RTO would determine the amount of capacity to be purchased and act as the administrator and counterparty to the resulting agreements.

PJM and the Independent Market Monitor are drafting proposals to rework the RTO’s reserve market.

The PJM Market Implementation Committee voted to endorse two packages of revisions to key parameters of the capacity market out of six offered by PJM and stakeholders that resulted from the Quadrennial Review.
