The PJM Markets and Reliability Committee discussed soak time modeling, primary frequency response, and the RTO's work to update its credit rules.

A summary of the issues scheduled to be brought to a vote at the PJM Markets and Reliability and Members committee meetings Jan. 23, 2020.

PJM’s Operating Committee put manual revisions for its gas contingency rules on the fast track to endorsement after approving the changes on the first read.

PJM’s Darlene Phillips will take over the Operating Committee after current Chair Dave Souder starts his role as executive director of systems operations.

The number of generators providing primary frequency response in 2018 fell short of PJM’s expectations, according to the RTO’s most-recently analyzed data.

ERCOT stakeholders moved to address the Texas grid’s growing pains by tweaking the system’s ancillary service offerings, which predate 2010.

PJM will spend only $162,000 to test the winter capabilities of 21 generators totaling 477 MW in 2018, RTO officials told the Operating Committee.

ERCOT members voted down the ISO’s attempt to salvage a revision request that would have replaced several ancillary services with new products.

FERC issued a Notice of Inquiry, seeking comment on potential changes to its rules on the provision and compensation of primary frequency response.

FERC issued orders that seek to increase the supply of regulation service and reactive power, and issued a final rule to allow generators to sell primary frequency response service at market-based rates.
