Whether the customer baseline load (CBL) or peak load contribution (PLC) is a more accurate capacity market performance measure of what a demand response customer would have consumed in the absence of an instruction to reduce load. 2. Whether the current PJM add-back process under the guaranteed load drop (GLD) option, which is used to calculate peak load for capacity for the following delivery year, accurately reflects the fact that the load reduction of an over-performing demand response customer (i.e. a customer that provides a level of response greater than the MW nominated for it in the capacity auction) has been used to support an underperforming customer (i.e. a customer that provides a level of response less than the nominated MW) in a portfolio aggregated to meet the capacity commitment. 3. Whether PJM dispatchers account for PLCs during an emergency. 4. Whether any load in PJM can be at load levels in excess of PLC during an emergency. E:\FR\FM\28JYN1.SGM 28JYN1
