A long-simmering dispute over PJM’s capacity accreditation of renewables is threatening to boil over, with some stakeholders calling for FERC intervention.

PJM has appointed Vickie VanZandt, president of VanZandt Electric Transmission Consulting, to its Board of Managers, the RTO announced Friday.

FERC issued a deficiency letter asking PJM how it’s proposed overhaul of its interconnection queue process will comply with prior commission orders.

PJM members failed to find consensus on any of four proposed sets of capacity auction parameters, with the RTO’s proposal falling short of the necessary votes.

Load interests continued to oppose PJM’s proposal to change the market seller offer cap, a month after it failed to meet the two-thirds endorsement threshold.

The principals of GreenHat Energy will pay PJM $1.4 million to settle claims over the company’s FTR market default, which cost members nearly $180 million.

The PJM MRC will vote on rules governing the inclusion of variable environmental charges in cost-based offers and four sets of capacity auction parameters.

FERC rejected PJM’s plan to change its handling of synchronized reserve events, saying it would likely result in higher prices and over-procurement.

Capping four years of discussions and analysis, PJM held a first read of competing fuel assurance rule changes for black start resources from PJM and the IMM.

DR programs for residential customers and small businesses in PJM are being hampered by a lack of access to meter data, curtailment service providers say.
