PJM's Operating Committee heard an update on the Aug. 11 load-shedding event in Baltimore, which brought 20 MW offline for about half an hour following equipment failures at the Brandon Shores substation

The month of May saw one spin event to PJM, a shared reserve event, three high-system-voltage actions and 24 post-contingency local load relief warnings, according to the RTO’s monthly operating metrics.

PJM reviewed comments it is jointly submitting with other RTOs on several proposed changes to EPA regulations during the Operating Committee meeting.

The Solar Energy Industries Association lodged a complaint at FERC against MISO’s practice of blocking intermittent resources from its ancillary service market.

PJM stakeholders will vote next month on two different proposals seeking to improve the deployment of synchronized reserves during a spin event.

FERC granted MISO permission to embed the production costs of providing spinning reserves in its market prices.

PJM stakeholders unanimously endorsed an issue charge that seeks to improve the deployment of synchronized reserves during a spin event.

MISO said its members collectively saved about $3.5 billion in 2020 for choosing RTO membership over going it alone on the grid.

The PJM Operating Committee endorsed changes to Manual 1 to expand the use of synchrophasors and make them a requirement for certain projects under the RTEP.
