A FERC administrative law judge will attempt to settle TransSource’s complaint against PJM concerning the costs of three network upgrades that the company says are being inflated by transmission owners.

PJM's Market Monitor has called on FERC to settle a dispute between PJM and a transmission developer, saying the RTO’s unwillingness to release relevant files is unfair.

A merchant transmission developer accused several PJM transmission owners of inflating the costs of upgrades necessary to approve three auction revenue rights requests.

A round-up of news from the PJM Planning Committee on June 11, 2015.

The PJM MRC heard first readings on the manual changes listed below. The committee will be asked to endorse the changes — excluding those for Manual 28, which is already in effect — in November.

PJM will flag potential upgrade requirements earlier in the transmission study process under manual changes outlined last week to the Planning Committee.
