PJM Completes First Reliability Pricing Model Auction

PJM Interconnection reached a significant milestone in its development of a forward electricity market in April with the completion of the first annual capacity auction under its Reliability Pricing Model (RPM). Auction results were posted at the close of business April 13.

Successful bidders in the auction included new generation resources and demand response resources.

“The auction went smoothly and participation was active,” said Andrew L. Ott, PJM vice president - Market Services. “Because they’re above the cost of new entry, the clearing prices in Eastern and Southwestern MAAC should create considerable interest from the investment community to add resources in these tight areas.”

“These results match the goals of the RPM to send pricing signals that will attract investment in new capacity resources where they are most needed,” Ott said.

The auction cleared 311 megawatts (MW) of new capacity (unit upgrades or new generating units) and 127 MW of demand response offers. A key feature of the RPM was the ability of demand response to compete with and to be paid the same as generation.

PJM’s first RPM auction began on April 2 and closed on April 6. It was for delivery of capacity during the 2007/2008 planning year (June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008). The auctions procure needed capacity after participants have specified self-supply and contracted (bilateral) resources. As part of the phase-in to the RPM, two more auctions will be conducted this year. After that, annual auctions will procure capacity three years prior to the required need to provide opportunity for planned resources to compete to supply the needed capacity service.

PJM’s analysis shows that the RPM will yield lower costs overall than the previous model. Recent low capacity prices would not continue as supplies grow tighter because of load growth, generation retirements and lack of new generation construction.

PJM Holds First Demand Response Symposium

PJM will be hosting a symposium to discuss demand response on May 10-11 in Alexandria, Va. Members were notified about the symposium on April 12. Participants, who represent key stakeholders from a policy and market perspective, will discuss the evolution of demand response, its importance, best practices, barriers and opportunities.

PJM believes demand response is poised to become a significant contributor to grid reliability and power markets. PJM Interconnection is committed to working with its stakeholders to fully develop demand response.

This symposium will bring together the best minds in the industry and government to identify and develop consensus around approaches for implementing the most cost-effective and promising demand response products for the short- to medium-term. The symposium also will look at demand response products with longer lead times, e.g., through smart grid technologies and protocols.

In addition to Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President Audrey Zibelman opening the event, Commissioner Jon Wellinghoff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) along with Dennis Wrasse of PHI will deliver the keynote address.

On May 9, PJM will be holding a primer on demand response for anyone interested in attending. For more information on registering for this training, go to http://www.pjm.com/services/training/courses.html.

The symposium’s format and subject matter were guided by a working group composed of state and federal regulators, PJM members and other stakeholders. This group chose a facilitated discussion of approximately 100 participants to ensure that all in attendance are fully engaged in the discussion. All interested persons will be able to monitor the discussion through Web Ex. More details are available on the symposium at
http://www.pjm.com/committees/stakeholders/drs/drs.html.

DOE Designates Two ‘National Interest’ Corridors

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) took a major step April 26 to address the nation’s transmission needs by issuing draft designations for two National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETCs) under the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

One of the corridors, the proposed Mid-Atlantic Area National Corridor, affects the PJM region and includes counties in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Virginia and all of New Jersey, Delaware and the District of Columbia.

The DOE said the draft national corridors were designed to be large enough "to allow consideration of a wide range of potential transmission projects and routes by the appropriate transmission planning entities, siting authorities (e.g., state agencies and, under certain conditions, the FERC), and prospective transmission developers."

A 60-day comment period will begin the day the draft National Corridor designations are published in the Federal Register. During the comment period, DOE said, it will confer with the affected states and hold three public meetings on the corridor designations -- in the Washington, D.C., area on May 15, in California on May 17 and in New York City on May 23.

The 2005 energy law authorizes the federal government to designate the national transmission corridors, with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission having backstop siting authority for transmission projects within them.

"We’re pleased that the Department of Energy has taken this important step in fulfilling the process the Congress created to protect the reliability of the electric power supply system," PJM said in reacting to the DOE announcement.

"The DOE’s independent evaluation of data has further confirmed the need for transmission additions in the region.

"Congress recognized the inherently interstate nature of the electric transmission system. In effect, it established an appeals process to protect the reliability of the system. States’ reviews of proposed transmission lines will proceed as normal.

The second corridor receiving draft designation from DOE was the Southwest Area National Corridor, which includes counties in California, Arizona and Nevada.

Standards Development Activities

Listed below are the current standards activities at NERC and the Regional Reliability Organizations (ReliabilityFirst (RFC) and SERC).

Note: There are no current deliverables for RFC Standards or SERC Supplements under development.

FERC Order on Reliability Standards

On April 19, 2007, FERC approved the NERC pro forma Delegation Agreement which includes a Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program to be used by NERC and regional entities to monitor, assess and enforce compliance with Commission-approved mandatory reliability standards. Among the elements included in the compliance program are procedures for audits and investigation, mitigation plans and remedial actions, procedures to address settlements, complaint procedures, confidentiality requirements, penalties, and hearing and review procedures. The order also approved the eight Regional Entity Delegation Agreements and related documents through which NERC will delegate authority to the regions for auditing, investigating and otherwise ensuring that users, owners and operators of the bulk power system comply with Commission-approved mandatory reliability standards. Click here to read the order.
