A Department of Energy-funded study concludes that PJM has the best alignment of electric and natural gas infrastructure among U.S. regions on the Eastern Interconnection.

PJM won’t seek additional compensation for black start generators in the face of stakeholder opposition, officials told members Friday. Instead, members of the task force studying the issue will be polled to determine their next step.

Nearing the end of one of the harshest winters in its history, PJM is considering requiring winter testing of generators.

Responding to concerns raised by the sabotage of a PG&E substation, FERC has ordered reliability standards to enhance the grid's physical security.

Black start generators anticipating increased compensation came away empty handed Thursday as stakeholders rejected two proposals that would have boosted payments to existing units by at least 40%.

PJM Members last week approved revisions to the Operating Agreement to allow PJM to share non-public operational information with natural gas pipelines and local distribution companies.

WASHINGTON -- A panel headed by former CIA and NSA chief Michael Hayden today recommended an expansion of the electric industry’s cybersecurity efforts, saying the current efforts by FERC and NERC fail to protect the distribution system.

FERC and NERC cautioned against overreacting to last year's substation sabotage, with two FERC commissioners taking a swipe at a former colleague who has been sounding the alarm.

Two members of the Senate Energy committee cited PJM to support their concerns about the impact of the Environmental Protection Agency’s pending greenhouse gas regulations.

FERC will hold a technical conference April 1 to discuss issues raised by this winter’s extreme cold, which exposed vulnerabilities in the grid’s increasing reliance on natural-gas fired generation.
