DOE Urges PJM to Revise Ratepayer Protection Plan

The U.S. Department of Energy urged PJM Interconnection to revise its reliability backstop procurement plan to prevent cost shifts onto existing utility customers from large loads, supporting FERC’s decision to address cost allocation issues.

Why it matters. PJM’s changes will affect existing utility customers and large electric energy loads, impacting cost distribution and reliability in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions.
