Fuel Cost Policies

Market Sellers are required to have a PJM-approved fuel cost policy for each unit and fuel type for which they wish to submit a non-zero, cost-based offer into the energy market. Fuel cost policies must be drafted in accordance with Manual 15 and the Operating Agreement. All approved fuel cost policies will undergo a periodic review by the Market Seller, PJM and the IMM prior to the policy expiration to ensure that the cost offer estimation practices are still accurate and acceptable.
