Eleven generating companies have asked FERC to expand the PJM minimum offer price rule (MOPR) in time for May’s 2019/20 Base Residual Auction.

Dynegy and Exelon proposed that MISO Zone 4 procure capacity in three-year forward auctions separate from the rest of the RTO.

PJM's Capacity Performance market structure, approved by FERC, is both over-priced and unlikely to achieve its intended results, says Direct Energy.

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

The PJM request to delay May’s Base Residual Auction has drawn more than two dozen comments — mostly from supportive stakeholders.

Stakeholders last week continued their debate over PJM’s proposal to create “historic” capacity transfer rights for some load-serving entities.

FERC approved PJM’s request to retain 2,000 MW of capacity in yesterday’s third Incremental Auction for 2015/16 but rejected its request to purchase capacity outside of the RPM.

Boston lamented that PJM took unilateral action on several contentious proposals in 2014 after stakeholders were unable to reach consensus.

A pair of requests PJM submitted to FERC to safeguard capacity for the 2015/16 delivery year drew a number of protests last week.
