FERC approved a tariff filing by PJM to adopt revised resource aggregation rules which were described as enhancements to the aggregation offer mechanism that may allow greater participation in the capacity market by Seasonal Resources.
FERC dismissed protests concerning the rules, including a protest filed by Direct Energy Business, LLC, jointly with Old Dominion Electric Cooperative. Direct Energy Business had argued that the changes are insufficient to allow participation by seasonal resources.
Although FERC accepted the tariff revisions, FERC separately ordered a technical conference concerning complaints about seasonal resource participation under PJM's capacity performance, as reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com today
