The review of proposed solutions to the Artificial Island transmission stability problem is taking PJM longer than expected and the selection of the winner could be months away.

News briefs on the federal agencies that impact those doing business in PJM's footprint. This week, we highlight the DOE, EPA, FERC, and Congress.

PJM's request to lift the $1,000/MWh price cap sparked a flood of comments to FERC, many of them in opposition.

PJM’s Market Monitor told FERC hat rule changes approved by PJM stakeholders to increase the flexibility of demand response are insufficient and that the commission should impose a must-offer requirement similar to that for generation resources.

FERC approved PJM’s proposal to cap the amount of Limited and Extended Summer demand response that clears in the annual base capacity auction, an action expected to increase capacity prices.

FERC ordered PJM to provide more information in support of its proposed limits on capacity imports, as opponents said the proposal would unreasonably increase prices.

FERC granted PJM’s request to lift the $1K offer cap as the RTO entered a 2nd week of frigid temps, straining generators and pushing natural gas prices skyward.

FERC clarified last week that its April 2013 order approving AEP’s Ohio restructuring plan does not preempt a court challenge by industrial customers.

FERC gave preliminary approval last week to rules drafted by NERC to protect the electric grid from geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and a final OK to a reliability standard for frequency response.
