PJM’s Market Implementation Committee passed by acclamation a PJM issue charge seeking to more thoroughly define how storage resources participate in the energy and ancillary service markets.

A summary of the agenda items scheduled to be brought to a vote at the PJM Markets and Reliability Committee and Members Committee meetings.

PJM stakeholders endorsed an expanded dual fuel manual definition, and the Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee was presented with a list of supplemental projects.

The PJM Planning Committee has endorsed manual revisions to reflect how distributed energy resources would be accredited for participation in the 2028/29 Base Residual Auction.

In New England, increasing winter reliability concerns are driving questions about how long the region’s aging fleet of oil-fired power plants can, or should, remain on the system.

PJM's Markets and Reliability Committee endorsed by acclamation an issue charge by Constellation Energy focused on how storage as a transmission asset could be implemented in the RTO.

Committee business included a quick-fix package to expand the definition of dual-fuel generation in the Reliability Assurance Agreement to include generation capable of running on a backup fuel type with off-site storage and dedicated delivery.

PJM presented stakeholders with proposed manual revisions to implement a requirement that dual-fuel generators must offer schedules with both of their fuels into the energy market during the winter, as well as changes to the operational and seasonal testing for capacity resources.

The PJM PC voted to defer action on three proposals to rework the RTO’s process for transferring capacity interconnection rights from a deactivating generator to a new resource.

PJM has decided not to refile several components of its proposed capacity market redesign that was rejected by FERC in February.
