This month's Inside Lines informs PJM's stakeholders of various committee actions, upcoming training and other activities. PJM would like to highlight the following:

Peak Electricity Use to Grow 16.7 Percent Over 10 Years
Consumers will increase their peak demand for electricity by 16.7 percent over the next 10 years, according to PJM Interconnection. The highest growth rate during that time is expected in PJM‘s Southern Region, which consists of the electric transmission system owned by Dominion.

PJM annually forecasts for its region the highest use of electricity (called peak demand) for future years and annual growth rates. The information is used to plan additions to the electric power supply system. (more)

Demand Response and Metering
Recently demand response and smart metering have captured a lot of attention in the news. From The Baltimore Sun to The New York Times, reporters are talking about the pilot programs springing up across the country that enable consumers to better manage their electricity bills. PJM has figured into these accounts, both in responding to how these efforts impact the grid as well as how the wholesale market supports them. (more)

Peak Electricity Use to Grow 16.7 Percent Over 10 Years

Consumers will increase their peak demand for electricity by 16.7 percent over the next 10 years, according to PJM Interconnection. The highest growth rate during that time is expected in PJM‘s Southern Region, which consists of the electric transmission system owned by Dominion.

PJM annually forecasts for its region the highest use of electricity (called peak demand) for future years and annual growth rates. The information is used to plan additions to the electric power supply system.

During the next 10 years, the highest demand for electricity use is expected to grow by 22,861 megawatts (MW), according to PJM’s January 2007 Load Forecast Report. A megawatt is a measure of electricity. It’s enough electricity to power about 800 houses.

The average annual growth rate in the PJM region is forecast to be 1.6 percent. Though seemingly small, over a 10-year period it’s roughly like adding to the system Chicago and all of northern Illinois.

“The above average growth in the Southern Region helps drive the need to expand the power supply system there,” said Michael J. Kormos, PJM senior vice president – Reliability Services. “In just five years, peak demand in the Dominion territory is forecast to grow by 1,756 megawatts. That’s like adding more than a million houses to the system.”

The forecasts are based on “normal” weather, average peak day temperatures as experienced over many years. Unusually hot weather can push electricity demand exceptionally high in one year. PJM forecasters adjust for such yearly variations to see long-term trends. The PJM region uses the greatest amount of electricity in the summer. High temperatures then cause air conditioners to run more and use more electricity.

Compliance Registration

Compliance registration within the Regional Reliability Organizations (RROs) is currently underway. The RROs will submit final registration list to NERC on March 2, 2007. ReliabilityFirst is making every effort to contact all unregistered entities before the March 2 deadline. In the event ReliabilityFirst has not been contacted by a listed entity, ReliabilityFirst will register any unregistered entity for the perceived functional designations performed within the footprint on March 2, 2007 in absentia, if required. A confirmation process will be done in February to allow any changes or corrections to be made to the listing before our final submittal to NERC. More Information can be found on the Compliance Registration section of the RFC website or by contacting Glenn Kaht or Gary Campbell at RFC.

In the LGE proceeding, the Commission found that this issue raised "generic concerns with implications applicable to all RTOs and ISOs and to all market participants with whom they interact, whether directly or indirectly." The Commission previously announced its intention to establish this technical conference to hear from interested parties concerning this issue and other issues involving seams between RTO/ISOs and companies on their borders.

The Commission dismissed the Complaint in its entirety. The Commission denied PPL's allegation that PJM violated the terms of it Operating Agreement by failing to dispatch certain of PPL's generation resources during a reliability emergency on July 27, 2005; and imposing Offer Price Caps on the PPL generating facilities that were brought on line at PJM's request on that date. FERC noted that PJM acted reasonable on that date and well within the confines of the OA to preserve system reliability. In addition, PPL's request that the Commission initiate an investigation to determine whether on other days, PJM improperly imposed Offer Price Caps and/or failed to run supplies that should have been run was also denied since PPL did not provide sufficient supporting evidence. Finally, the Commission determined that PPL failed to demonstrate a need to require PJM to provide status reports during a system emergency, and no further investigation into PJM's activities was warranted.

EL07-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 opening an inquiry into the coordination of gas and electric market schedules in regions operated by regional transmission organizations ("RTOs") and independent system operators ("ISOs"). The inquiry was motivated by reliability concerns resulting from a cold-snap in the northeast in 2004, during which the electric and gas markets experienced coincident periods of peak demand raising reliability concerns in New England.
