Constellation deferred on asking the Market Implementation Committee to vote on a quick-fix proposal to account for any downtime dual-fuel gas generators may require when switching fuels.

PJM, Constellation and the Independent Market Monitor plan to bring competing proposals to define rules for operating battery storage as a transmission asset.

PJM’s Independent Market Monitor warned the cost of wholesale power in the RTO will continue to rise with the rapid addition of data center load without enough capacity to serve it.

PJM has updated its thinking on the design of its reliability backstop procurement to meet rising data center load, gravitating toward a model in which the RTO would determine the amount of capacity to be purchased and act as the administrator and counterparty to the resulting agreements.

The Department of Energy ordered PJM and Constellation Energy to keep the 760-MW Eddystone Generating Station online through May 24.
