Exelon told the PJM Operating Committee it is near agreement with RTO staff on business rules for non-retail behind-the-meter generation.

PJM’s Operating Committee completed two key work activities identified in a problem statement/issue charge approved in March.

The PJM Operating Committee delayed voting on changes related to how the RTO manages non-retail behind-the-meter generation.

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

PJM staff agreed to delay approval of revisions to generation outage procedures after stakeholders raised concerns over potential market consequences.

PJM presented a “Lessons Learned” report to the Operating Committee detailing weaknesses in utilities’ incident response procedures and command structures.

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.

PJM’s Operating Committee endorsed manual revisions in spite of FirstEnergy's challenge to the formula for judging primary frequency response performance.

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.

A PJM proposal to revise rules on non-retail behind-the-meter generation was met with suspicion from municipal utilities and cooperatives.
