'Game changer' PJM, SPP energy storage plans set for FERC consideration

摘要

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will take up PJM Interconnection and Southwest Power Pool's respective plans for complying with the agency's landmark electric storage participation rule at its October 17 open meeting. The meeting agenda, however, signaled that the grid operators' compliance filings may have raised questions that the agency plans to set for hearing, potentially leaving the wholesale power markets in limbo over the final outcome of proposed rule changes to better accommodate electric storage resources.
