PJM has withdrawn its non-capacity backed load proposal, shifting the focus of its solution for rising large load additions to creating a parallel resource interconnection queue and reworking price-responsive demand.

PJM revised elements of its proposal to create a non-capacity backed load product for large loads as the Critical Issue Fast Path embarks on determining how to address the reliability challenges posed by accelerating data center load growth.

The PJM Board of Managers initiated a Critical Issue Fast Path process aimed at maintaining resource adequacy in the face of rising data center load growth, asking stakeholders to draft proposals to serve 32 GW of load growth expected by 2030.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee discussed a problem statement and issue charge brought by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro to open a discussion on establishing a sub-annual capacity market design.

The Members Committee is set to vote on several proposals drafted by PJM and stakeholders to determine how to allocate costs associated with generators required to remain online through DOE’s emergency orders under FPA Section 202(c).

PJM stakeholders voted for a third consecutive meeting to delay acting on revisions to Manual 14H intended to clarify when developers may add or remove parcels from their project footprint.

PJM presented stakeholders with proposed manual revisions to implement a requirement that dual-fuel generators must offer schedules with both of their fuels into the energy market during the winter, as well as changes to the operational and seasonal testing for capacity resources.

PJM presented an issue charge focused on the potential for compensation for generators providing black start service to fall to zero a decline in net cost of new entry values in the 2025/26 Base Residual Auction.
