PJM is considering a significant increase in the performance requirements for participants in its frequency regulation market.

At last week's PJM Operating Committee, PJM and NYISO released last week their joint whitepaper on replacing the Con Ed-PSEG wheel, which will end May 1.

PJM has found a way to provide generators with the performance assessment hour alerts that owners requested, but it’s not going to be easy.

PJM told the Operating Committee that generators will maximize their revenues and avoid penalties during performance assessment hours by just doing what they’re told.

PJM and NYISO officials said that an analysis indicates a reduced version of the current pattern is the best resolution when the Con Ed-PSEG ‘wheel’ ends.

PJM’s Operating Committee reviewed tightened metering requirements and approved sunsetting the Systems Information Committee, reassigning its responsibilities to the Data Management Subcommittee and the new Tech Change Forum.

PJM is using a three-pronged approach to prepare for next year’s termination of the Con Ed-PSEG wheel.

Two 345-kV lines that were knocked out when a tornado leveled four transmission towers in ComEd territory are back online.

Capacity Performance units no longer would be compensated for participating in cold weather testing under a plan by the PJM Operating Committee.

About 1,900 MW of behind-the-meter generation may be unavailable because of tightened environmental rules, PJM told the Operating Committee.
