The Electricity Transmission Competition Coalition and the Industrial Energy Consumers of America have mounted a challenge to MISO’s proposed method for building portions of long-range transmission projects that cross into PJM.

PJM presented the Markets and Reliability Committee with a first read on a proposal to establish penalties for load management and price-responsive demand resources that do not perform during pre-emergency events

PJM is forming a task force to explore how new data centers can be required to curtail if they interconnect before there is sufficient capacity and transmission capability.

FERC rejected a complaint from the PJM Independent Market Monitor asking it to determine the RTO holds the authority to deny transmission service for large loads that cannot be reliably served/

FERC denied a complaint from RWE Clean Energy arguing PJM incorrectly identified network upgrades for a 125-MW solar and storage project.

PJM’s capacity market has quietly evolved from a reliability safety net into the primary mechanism supporting much of the region’s electricity supply, writes energy consultant Glenn Davis.

The White House meeting and associated industry pledge were perhaps good theater, but would have been much more valuable a year or two ago, writes columnist Peter Kelly-Detwiler.

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.

The PJM Planning Committee endorsed a quick-fix proposal to include battery storage dispatch in the RTO’s planning models.

PJM updated stakeholders on how it plans to act on a FERC order requiring it to rework how it determines transmission rates and recalculate rates going back to June 2015.
