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.

FERC and state regulators examined issues around ISO/RTO governance during a meeting of the Federal-State Current Issues Collaborative in Boston, with members from PJM pushing for the biggest changes.

The PJM MRC endorsed an issue charge to hire a consultant to investigate the pros and cons of a sub-annual capacity market and what designs stakeholders feel would be feasible.

Stakeholders rejected the installed reserve margin and forecast pool requirement values recommended by PJM staff, with some opposed arguing that the inputs remain nebulous.

Mid-Atlantic grid operator PJM has had a rough couple of weeks, says columnist Peter Kelly-Detwiler.

PJM member states are seeking the ability to nominate two candidates to the RTO’s board as they grow increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with the affordability and reliability of the grid.

DOE has terminated its $4.9 billion conditional loan commitment for the long-delayed Grain Belt Express project, saying it is “not critical” for the federal government to support the project.

PJM will present its recommended forecast pool requirement and installed reserve margin for endorsement by the Markets and Reliability and Members committees.

FERC opened the door for PJM to resubmit a previously rejected proposal to shift its Regional Transmission Expansion Plan protocol from its operating agreement to its tariff, while dismissing a rehearing request for a connected proposal by the RTO’s transmission owners.
