Exelon EDCs Seek Interest From PJM Winter Capacity Resources To Aggregate With EDCs' Demand Response
December 06,2016
Five Exelon utilities — Atlantic City Electric (“ACE”), Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (“BGE”), Commonwealth Edison (“ComEd”), Delmarva Power (“DPL”), and Potomac Electric Power Company (“Pepco”) — intend to issue a joint-utility Request for Proposals (“RFP”) from Winter Resources to aggregate with the Exelon utilities’ Summer Resources for the purpose of offering Capacity Performance resources into the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) May 2017 Base Residual Auction (“BRA”).
The Exelon utilities are seeking to aggregate up to 1,600 megawatts of unforced capacity (“UCAP”). The submission of RFP responses will be conditioned on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (“FERC’s”) order regarding PJM’s November 17, 2016 proposed aggregation tariff changes (ER 17-367).
In preparation for the RFP, the Exelon utilities are issuing a Request for Information (“RFI”) seeking non-binding information from interested parties with eligible Winter Resources. Participating in the RFI is not a requirement for participating in the RFP.
