The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Final Rule on Order No. 1000 in July 2011 and PJM has subsequently submitted a number of compliance filings to establish the process by which the revised planning and cost allocation requirements of the Order are being implemented. PJM has now implemented the process over the course of the last 2 years and, together with the stakeholders, have gained significant experience in managing the competitive planning process contemplated by the Order.
Over that time, it has become apparent to PJM and the stakeholders that a number of issues have arisen in carrying out the process that suggest the need for process improvement to make the process more effective and efficient for both PJM and the stakeholder, while maintaining compliance with the Order. PJM, under the auspices of the Planning Committee, is conducting a number of stakeholder feedback sessions, both at the Planning Committee and at other venues, to gather feedback from the stakeholders as to their suggestions for process improvements.
