PJM plan to accommodate seasonal capacity resources approved by FERC

摘要

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Friday signed off on changes to PJM Interconnection's capacity market rules aimed at encouraging more eligible resources to participate in that market. In doing so, the commission approved enhancements to the grid operator's aggregation rules to make satisfying the stringent requirements established for capacity performance resources — in particular, the mandate that they be capable of operating predictably year round — easier for storage, intermittent, demand response, energy efficiency and environmentally limited resources, collectively referred to as seasonal resources.
