A proposal to allow load-serving entities outside the PJM Interconnection footprint to obtain auction revenue rights (ARRs) in its annual allocations has been conditionally accepted by FERC. PJM's proposal conforms to order 681 on long-term firm transmission rights, said the March 27 order (ER09-585).rnPJM's annual ARR allocation process consists of two stages. The first is a two-round allocation process; the second involves three additional rounds in which one-third of the remaining system capability that was not allocated in stage one is awarded.rnIn a January 28 filing, PJM proposed to allow long-term firm point-to-point customers and network service customers that serve load outside of the PJM region to participate in stage one of the annual ARR allocation. As proposed, these external LSEs would also be able to request stage two ARR allocations up to the allowable quantity in stage one but not awarded in stage one.
