PJM Board appoints Karl V. Pfirrmann interim President and CEO

The PJM Board appointed Karl Pfirrmann to be the interim President and CEO following the retirement of Phillip Harris. The Board said it would conduct an executive search to name the permanent head of PJM and Pfirrmann would be one of the candidates considered.

Pfirrmann was most recently senior vice president of PJM and responsible for the Advanced Control Center project (AC2). Through this project, set for completion in 2010, PJM's main control center in Valley Forge and a new second control center will be designed and equipped with advanced technology that can grow and expand to adapt to future technologies.

With Pfirrmann's new role, Suzanne Daugherty, vice president, CFO and treasurer, has been named executive sponsor of AC2. She will retain her current Finance Division responsibilities.

Pfirrmann joined PJM in 2003 from Allegheny Power where he was a vice president of system planning and operation. He managed the integration of Allegheny's transmission system into PJM in 2002 and has worked closely with PJM management to develop PJM growth in Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia and Ohio. He has leadership experience in transmission planning, system operations and energy procurement.

He is an executive board member for the East Central Area Reliability section of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). He has been active with the NERC Planning Committee, Electric Power Research Institute, the Midwest Independent System Operator Development Team and the Northeast Independent Transmission Company Development Team.

A graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University, he earned his bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. He also completed management training at the University of Idaho.

PJM provides perspective on reliability and wholesale markets to Maryland's energy conference

The Maryland Public Service Commission's recent planning conference on the state's future electricity needs received information about grid reliability and wholesale power markets.

Michael J. Kormos, PJM senior vice president - Reliability Services and members of his team discussed electricity demand forecasting, transmission and traditional generators. Andrew L. Ott, Vice president - Markets, participated on a panel about demand response potential. The conference was held July 26-27 in Annapolis, Md.

"I think the conference was successful in putting the right issues on the table," said Kormos, adding, "It was a good first step." One of the main points he conveyed is that, when it comes to solving the energy issues facing the state, "there is no magic bullet."

The day before, Kormos had also appeared before Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley's energy conference.

"It's clear that there is huge interest in Maryland to understand better the issues related to meeting future energy demand," Kormos said. "Meeting future demand is part of what we do continually in our regional planning process. We hope to continue to work with them in understanding the issues moving forward."

Voluntary electric load reductions took some heat off during heat wave

Demand response played a larger role in PJM's wholesale markets during the heat wave the week of July 9 throughout the PJM area.

More than 1,000 megawatts of demand response were scheduled during the peak hours from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern) on July 9, the day with the highest peak use of the week. That amount is equivalent to a large power plant.

The amount of voluntary reduction in electricity use scheduled on Monday was nearly 2.3 times the amount scheduled on Aug. 2, 2006, the day PJM set its all-time record peak demand of 144,644 megawatts (MW). PJM has estimated that demand response resulted in price reductions equivalent to more than $230 million in payments for energy on that all-time peak day last year.

The peak demand on July 9 was 134,571 MW for the RTO.

Save the date: PJM forums on long-term contracting coming Sept. 6-7

Stakeholders have expressed the need for greater opportunities for long-term contracting of electricity supplies. PJM Interconnection will conduct two forums on long-term contracting. Both are open to all PJM electric market stakeholders.

The first forum will be held Sept. 6-7, 2007, in Washington, D.C. It will convene with a working lunch on Sept. 6, and end mid-day Sept. 7. Participants will frame the issue in a series of facilitated sessions designed to more succinctly define the problems associated with long-term contracting in the current electricity environment as well as identifying potential solutions and needs for additional information to further explore these solutions.

The second forum will be held Jan. 23-24, 2008, in Washington, D.C. Building on the first symposium, participants will develop a roadmap for meeting the needs of those desiring long-term contracting opportunities in PJM's footprint by addressing the proposals and potential solutions to the problems and needs set out at the first symposium.

The format and agenda of the symposiums are being designed by a broad advisory group of stakeholders. It includes representatives of buyers and sellers of electricity, state and federal regulators, and consumer advocates.

Reliability Pricing Model produces results; attracts more demand response and generation
(The following is a modified version of the news release posted July 13.)

PJM Interconnection's new method of pricing capacity for the wholesale electricity market is producing the intended results: more demand response, reduced power plant retirements and additional generation. Results of PJM's capacity auction were announced in July.

The Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) auction ensures that enough capacity is in place to keep the lights on for the 51 million people in the PJM region. The most recent auction attracted 1,300 megawatts (MW) of new resources. Significantly, 536 MW of demand response cleared the auction. (Demand response is a voluntary reduction in the use of electricity. A key feature of the RPM was the ability of demand response to compete with and to be paid the same as generation.)

"We have more than 500 megawatts of new, additional demand response offered into this auction - that's equal to a power plant, and it's four times the amount of demand response from our first auction in April," said Andrew L. Ott, PJM vice president - Markets.

"We had 2,300 megawatts come from generators that chose to restart closed plants, withdraw requests to retire plants or postpone retirement. We had new generation enter the auction largely through upgrades to existing units to produce more power. These are the results we intended to see from RPM."

RPM sends price signals that attract resources to the areas where they are most needed.

PJM's long-standing capacity requirement ensures that there are sufficient resources in place to meet consumers' demand for electricity, plus a reserve margin. PJM members that sell electricity to end-use customers must have access to adequate power supplies. They can use generation, transmission or demand response, including energy-efficiency programs. They can meet their supply requirements by owning resources (self-supply) or contracting for them (bilaterals).

PJM's analysis shows that the RPM will yield lower costs overall than the previous model. Ott said that last year's historically low capacity prices could not continue. "We would have faced power shortages in future as demand grew and generation retired and was not replaced with new resources," Ott noted.

Both requests for rehearing challenged the Commission's determination to set the issues for hearing regarding the modification of Schedule 12 of the PJM Tariff addressing the assignment of cost responsibility for transmission system expansions and upgrades pursuant to the PJM RTEP. In addition, Neptune's rehearing request was denied because the issues it raised were resolved by settlement.

  On July 2, 2007, PJM filed in Docket Nos. EL07-56, et al., its supplemental response in FERC's proceedings on the PJM Market Monitor's allegations of interference. Because the Market Monitor, in his 6/12/07 response, raised many new matters that were not the subject of FERC's 5/18/07 data requests, PJM supplemented its response so that FERC would have a complete record. Based on the record developed, PJM asked FERC to dismiss the pending complaints in the proceeding.
