The Reserve Certainty Senior Task Force is considering proposals from PJM and the Independent Market Monitor aimed at improving the performance of reserve resources by increasing electronic signaling and providing more flexibility around reserve procurement targets.

PJM and the Independent Market Monitor presented the Deactivation Enhancement Senior Task Force with two proposals to increase the notification generators seeking deactivation must provide PJM and standardize compensation for those that enter into agreements to continue operating beyond their desired retirement date.

PJM plans to open a solicitation window for black start service after the June 2023 request-for-proposal window did not yield fuel-assured black start generation for some transmission zones.

The PJM Planning Committee is considering a change to an issue charge framing a discussion on how capacity interconnection rights can be transferred from a retiring generator to a planned resource in the interconnection queue.

The Market Implementation Committee voted to endorse a package to revise how capacity obligations associated with forecast large load additions are assigned to electric distribution companies.

The surest way to ensure that transmission is not expanded is to usurp states’ authority, FERC Commissioner Mark Christie said at WIRES’ Spring Member Meeting in Chicago.

Paul McGlynn has taken over as PJM's vice president of planning, and Aftab Khan has filled the newly created executive vice president of operations, planning and security.

MISO and PJM are deliberating whether to embark on an interregional transmission study this year as they field more calls from stakeholders to revamp their joint planning framework.
