Capacity Resources are obtained by Load Serving Companies through direct ownership, bilateral transactions or capacity markets to meet their obligation.
- Capacity Resources
- Generation resources committed to meeting LSE Obligations.
- Load contractually under direction of PJM.
- Resource Requirements
- Proven as “deliverable” to meet load in PJM.
- Unit performance information provided to PJM for tracking capability.
- Energy market participation with energy available to PJM on demand.
Notes:
- Commitment to meeting LSE obligations is managed within the PJM eCapacity system.
- Unforced Capacity values are determined from unit performance data.
- Deliverability is measured by various criteria:
- Units in place within the control area under prior agreements
- Deliverability established by historical analysis
- New control area capacity ( or additions to existing control area capacity)
- Follows generation interconnection process
- Resources outside the PJM control area
- Request approved for firm service for the capacity resource value on the PJM OASIS. This process assures that Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is available and results in the corresponding reduction of ATC for approval of the capacity resource.
- Provide a “letter of non-recallability” to PJM for the resource. This assures PJM that the resource is not committed as a capacity resource in another control area. PJM requires that all capacity resources not out of service provide energy to PJM when PJM declares “Maximum Emergency Generation”
- Unit performance information is provided in the form of NERC/GADS reporting data.
- Energy scheduling is not a part of the course.
