A group of demand response providers in PJM proposed adding two hours to the availability window that binds when the resource can be deployed by the RTO.

PJM officials and stakeholders told FERC they oppose abandoning the RTO’s capacity market but disagree over the degree to which it needs to be changed.

Consumer advocates, industrial consumers and municipals asked FERC to force PJM to require incumbent TOs to sign agreements on immediate-need projects.

FERC ordered hearing and settlement procedures in response to industrial customers’ protest of PJM's proposed revisions to its administrative rates.

Protesters urged FERC to reject a bid by PJM transmission owners to fund network upgrades and add them to their rate bases.

PJM officials said they will seek FERC approval of the RTO’s seasonal capacity proposal despite a lack of stakeholder consensus.

A summary of measures approved by the PJM Markets and Reliability and Members Committees on Oct. 27, 2015.

PJM’s plan to implement new demand response rules in time for the May capacity auction are in doubt following a FERC order requiring the RTO to provide more information to support its proposal.

PJM members endorsed rules describing when economic demand response is eligible for compensation, over the objections of some demand response providers, who said they are unfair.

PJM Transmission owners said they will address transparency concerns over their load calculations, but insisted the issue be resolved by their committee rather than in the MRC.
