PJM presented the Planning Committee with issues it sees with its current process for evaluating market efficiency projects.

Stakeholders approved PJM’s 2017 installed reserve margin (IRM) calculations at last week’s Planning Committee meeting.

Only a few PJM stakeholders attended the special Planning Commission session on cost-containment provisions in bids on transmission projects.

PJM has reduced its installed reserve margin, largely because of a drop in the equivalent forced outage rate.

PJM stakeholders are finding that the elimination of the Con Ed-PSEG "wheel" is not freeing up transmission capacity as expected.

PJM stakeholders debated how cost caps in competitive transmission bids should be weighed when they're considered for selection.

PJM staff have completed analysis of Reliability Pricing Model projects and are nearly finished examining interregional projects.

PJM has begun discussing the role and significance of cost-containment assurances in bids for transmission projects under FERC’s Order 1000.

The PJM Planning Committee approved revisions to the rules for the Regional Transmission Expansion Plan, agreeing to extend the cycle to 18 months.

The major elements of PJM’s proposed structure for its competitive planning processes moved past the PJM Planning Committee.
