Transition Mechanism Summary
PJM would:•Determine demand resource commitments which are load-serving-entity-based and can be directly converted to demand response curtailment commitments•Work with curtailment service providers, states and load-serving entities to explore how demand resource commitments may transition to load-serving entity-based curtailment commitments•Establish procedures to release demand resources that cannot be converted from capacity commitment
– no capacity credit for released commitment– no curtailment obligation in delivery year
•Account for released demand resources in remaining incremental auctions for three transition delivery years
– if necessary, purchase additional capacity to replace released demand resources– load-serving-entity-based demand response eligible to bid into incremental auctions
•Preserve terms of curtailment commitment in energy market for each type of demand resource (limited, extended summer and annual) during the transition.
