The PJM Operating Committee unanimously endorsed an issue charge regarding the substitution and termination of black start resources.

The winter of 2019/20 saw PJM with the lowest peak loads of the last seven years, as above-average temperatures kept energy consumption down.

PJM told the Operating Committee that it wants to clarify and update its documentation on the substitution and termination of black start resources.

The PJM System Operations Subcommittee will hold conference calls to discuss how the coronavirus is impacting generation and transmission operators.

Facing opposition from regulators and consumer advocates, PJM will suspend an initiative that could tighten fuel requirements for black start resources.

PJM under-forecasted the peak hour load on three days in January, the Operating Committee heard.

PJM experienced two spinning events last month and shared reserves with NPCC three times, the RTO told the Operating Committee.

PJM said it was a quiet operations month in November with zero spinning events and nine post-contingency local load relief warnings.

PJM staff told the Operating Committee questions still remain about why its load forecast veered so far off course during a hot spell in early October.

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.
