ORPC Alaska, LLC; Notice of Technical Meeting To Discuss Information and Monitoring Needs for a License Application for a Pilot Project, 25235 [E9-12212]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 27, 2009 / Notices erowe on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES Year 2011/2012 and the third Incremental Auction (January 4–8, 2010) for Delivery Year 2010/2011 and asks the Commission to take action as necessary to correct this condition, if it agrees with the Market Monitor’s views regarding non-competitive market outcomes. PJM filed a responsive letter on April 29, 2009, containing correspondence between PJM and the Market Monitor. In this correspondence, PJM stated that, in its view, an expedited tariff change is not necessary, and that it believes that the prices produced by use of the ACR values accepted in the March 26 Order will lead to rates that are within the range of reasonable variation. PJM also stated that the RPM market design does not anticipate the default ACR values changing for each Delivery Year, and recommends that rather than seeking a tariff change on an emergency basis, PJM’s stakeholders should consider this issue and, if they so choose, present this issue to the Commission in an orderly fashion. Therefore, while indicating that ACR changes are not feasible or advisable for the June 2009 Incremental Auction, PJM commits to add the topic of default ACR values to the agenda for the Capacity Markets Evolution Committee as an item to be discussed and resolved by stakeholders by September 1, 2009.
