PJM is reformatting and drafting clarifications to Manual 14B: PJM Region Transmission Planning Process that may impact the RTO’s planning modeling.

NERC is still analyzing the causes of the July 10 low-frequency event in the Eastern Interconnection, PJM’s Chris Pilong told the Operating Committee.

MISO proposed bringing the three major players in its load forecasting together to coordinate on predictions for long-term transmission planning.

Lessons from the Jan. 17 MISO South emergency resulted in smoother management of the Sept. 15 emergency in the region, RTO officials told stakeholders.

A new proposal would require MISO load-serving entities to develop a 20-year base load forecast that includes predictions for non-coincident peaks.

MISO said it is reviewing stakeholder proposals to improve load forecasts and plan hourly energy delivery on its evolving system.

A forecasting error is prompting CAISO to procure a large volume of out-of-market resources for September under a special measure.

MISO has called off a proposal to rely on data from its load-serving entities to compile its own long-term load forecast.

PJM hopes to reduce its capacity market demand curve by including peak shaving among the variables used to develop its load forecast.

PJM experienced 77 emergency procedures in May, staff told attendees at last week’s Operating Committee meeting.
