stakeholder body that is an integral part of the Regional Transmission
Expansion Planning (RTEP) process. The transmission line was one of several
other proposals recommended by PJM's System Planning Division as updates
to the 15-year regional plan. (more)

| Demand
response sets new record in PJM
Consumers'
voluntary reductions in electricity, known as demand response, set a record
during a power supply emergency amid a hot August week.
PJM reported that 1,945 megawatts (MW) of consumer use of electricity
were voluntarily reduced on Wednesday, Aug. 8, the day PJM ordered voltage
reductions in its Mid-Atlantic Region. The demand response amount is similar
to the amount of power used by a mid-sized city. By comparison, the 5
percent voltage reduction lowered use by about 1,000 MW.
In PJM's wholesale electricity markets, consumers can be paid the same
amount for reducing demand for electricity as generators are paid for
supplying electricity.
Consumers
participated in demand response in several ways: through the Day-Ahead
Market, PJM real-time dispatch, self-scheduled, PJM's call for emergency
load response and PJM members' "interruptible" rates.
Demand
response can help maintain reliability by reducing the demands on the
power supply system. It also can reduce wholesale prices for electricity
by eliminating the need to run more expensive generating units.

States
focus on demand response
Several
states within the PJM region have included demand response as either the
main focus or one of the critical ones in their efforts to develop state-wide
energy plans. States are seeing a crucial need to curb demand and create
a program to provide incentives for energy consumers to reduce their demand.
New
Jersey's Board of Public Utilities issued a notice for a Demand Response
Working Group to be formed and for the group to design a pilot demand
response program by Oct.1, 2007. PJM has been serving as a member of the
working group, which has reviewed different models for programs, such
as PJM's. Currently, the working group is reviewing the details of how
the PJM Demand Response market opportunity would work. The group is expected
to file its plan this fall.
Virginia
has a similar effort underway with a deadline of Dec. 15 for submitting
a report. The report will address "the feasibility of reducing electric
energy consumption by 10 percent by year 2022 through the use of various
programs including demand-side management, conservation, energy efficiency,
demand response, real-time pricing, incentives and consumer education."
The working group currently is reviewing PJM's demand response program.
Ohio's
Public Service Commission is examining several energy topics. The future
Smart Grid, smart metering and demand response are the topics of key focus.
PJM is also serving as a member of the working group and is providing
information about its demand response opportunity.

MMU
finds first auction using the PJM reliability pricing model was competitive
The
PJM Market Monitoring Unit (MMU) issued its analysis of the results of
PJM's first capacity auction under the Reliability Pricing Model (RPM).
The MMU concludes that the auction results were competitive.
Based on the market structure tests conducted by the MMU prior to the
auction, the RPM's built-in offer caps were applied to all capacity sellers
in the auction.
The
auction was for the 2007-2008 delivery year, which began in June and ends
in May 2008. The MMU
report (http://www.pjm.com/markets/market-monitor/downloads/mmu-reports/20070820-analysis-2007-2008-rpm-auction.pdf)
was posted on the PJM Web site in August. The MMU will conduct an analysis
of each RPM auction.

Forums
to Examine Long-Term Contracting
PJM
is sponsoring two forums focusing on long-term contracting for electricity
supplies. These forums are open to all PJM electric market stakeholders
who have registered.
The first forum is being held Sept. 6 and 7 in Washington, D.C. Participants
will discuss long-term contracts in a series of facilitated discussions
designed to define the problems associated with contracting in the current
industry and to identify potential solutions. Topics will explore the
goals of and obstacles to long-term contracts and the requirements for
successful contracts.
The
second forum, in January 2008, will focus on developing a roadmap for
expanding contracting opportunities in the PJM area by addressing the
proposed solutions from the first forum. Both events will be hosted at
the Fairmont Washington Hotel. Details about the programs, including information
on how to listen to the conference via teleconference and WebEx are currently
available online at www.pjm.com/committees/stakeholders/drs/ltc.html.

TEAC
reviews PJM's regional plan recommendations; Board review is next step
On
Aug. 22, a proposed major transmission line that would address reliability
issues in congested areas in PJM's Mid-Atlantic Region was presented to
PJM's Transmission Expansion Advisory Committee (TEAC), a stakeholder
body that is an integral part of the Regional Transmission Expansion Planning
(RTEP) process. The transmission line was one of several other proposals
recommended by PJM's System Planning Division as updates to the 15-year
regional plan.
The
largest recommended update is a 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line that
would run from northern Virginia, cross Maryland and travel up the Delmarva
Peninsula to New Jersey. The 230-mile line was proposed by Pepco Holdings
Inc. (PHI) last year.
Other transmission upgrades were included in the recommendations, among
them a new 345-kV transmission line needed to maintain reliability in
the Pittsburgh area.
The recommendations become part of PJM's regional plan when they are reviewed
and approved by the PJM Board. The TEAC provides advice, comments and
recommendations to assist in developing the regional plan.
The
PHI project is called the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway. The PJM System Planning
Division's analysis indicates that existing transmission lines will overload
in future years and that reliability will be affected by generation retirements
and reductions driven by emissions limits. For example, the project would
help address the proposed retirement of two generating stations totaling
about 800 megawatts in the Washington, D.C., area.
PJM does not determine the siting of transmission lines. That is the responsibility
of the companies building the lines, who must receive approval from state
siting agencies.
