Establishes Technical Conference Fleciardin- fl Frequenc ation npiaints By A drienne Thompson & C hristopher Zentz on April 9, 2018 POSTED IN MARKET POLICY On March 30, 2018, FERC issued an order establishing a technical conference and partially granting one of two complaints against various changes to the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") frequency regulation market. In partially granting one complaint, FERC found that PJM's tariff is unjust and unreasonable in so far as it omits the methodology for calculating certain regulationrelated cost curves, as well as the parameters governing certain regulation market signals. In the forthcoming technical conference, FERC intends to consider both: (1) whether PJM's recent frequency regulation market changes hamper the full participation of storage resources, for example, to provide regulation services, and (2) whether PJM's regulation market design as a whole is consistent with prior FERC precedent.

In doing so, FERC found that there was no evidence that MISO was not making reasonable efforts to meet interconnection deadlines, as required by its tariff. FERC added that prior precedent does not require MISO to ensure wind generators receive their GIA in time to receive full PTC benefits. 202. 274.2870 202. 274.2886 202. 662.2181 404. 885.3683 ChycxSensiba 202. 274.2850 B llC CRIbmJLkora 202. 274.2966 Email Lga.s k c a g i 503. 290.2310 FERC Rejects PJIITs Regulation Market on By Jamoncl Perry & Thomas DeVita on April 10, ............................... POSTED IN MARKET POLICY OOn March 30, 2018, FERC rejected PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.'s ("PJM") October 17, 2017 proposed tariff revisions to improve the performance of the PJM frequency regulation ("Regulation") market (the "Regulation Proposal"). According to PJM, the revisions were needed in light of a number of ongoing operational and market issues that had developed in the Regulation market. FERC rejected the Regulation Proposal because it did not comply with the requirements of Order No. 755 and FERC's regulations to compensate all Regulation resources based on the actual quantity of Regulation service provided. | SUBSCRIBE Sierra Club v.
