A group of demand response providers in PJM proposed adding two hours to the availability window that binds when the resource can be deployed by the RTO.

With more than 300,000 buildings, the U.S. government is the nation’s largest energy consumer and “a steady customer prepared to make long-term investments,” GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan said.

Panelists at the GridWise Alliance's gridCONNEXT conference discussed how to reliably and affordably enable the energy transition with smart meters, distributed energy resources and other investments at the grid's edge.

"The energy transformation will last decades, not years, which is why we are confident that investment opportunities will continue to strengthen and lengthen our rate base growth,” CEO Calvin Butler said.

PJM presented three shortlisted scenarios being considered in its 2022 RTEP Window 3 to address growing data center load in Virginia and deactivation of the Brandon Shores generator outside Baltimore.

Exelon utilities will work on transmission upgrades as the Brandon Shores coal-fired power plant prepares for deactivation.

Six Exelon utilities have agreed to pay ReliabilityFirst $1.8 million for violating NERC's reliability standards.

Panelists held several discussions on interregional transmission planning, resource adequacy and the risks posed by extreme weather during the Mid-Atlantic Conference of Regulatory Utilities Commissioners (MACRUC) annual educational conference held from June 26 through 28.

The PJM Planning Committee approved documents to explore possible improvements to transferring capacity interconnection rights.
