A summary of issues discussed by the PJM Market Implementation Committee on Oct. 7, 2015.

PJM staff, stakeholders, financiers, regulators and industry leaders debated the effects of environmental rules and RTO policies on the capacity market, reliability and investments at Infocast’s PJM Market Summit 2015.

Capacity Performance resources cleared at $151.50/MW-day in the transition auction for the 2017/18 delivery year, PJM said Wednesday.

Capacity Performance resources cleared at $134/MW-day in the transition auction for the 2016/17 delivery year, PJM announced Monday.

PJM's first capacity auction under its new no-excuses policy saw prices rise 37% to $164.77/MW-day in most of the RTO.

PJM energy market prices were down almost 40% in the first half of 2015 compared with 2014, while capacity and transmission service charges rose.

PJM members agreed last week to consider relaxing confidentiality rules, despite reservations from several utilities.

PJM will delay the transition auctions for the new Capacity Performance regime to comply with a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission order that the RTO include demand response and energy efficiency.
