At the technical conference, the Commission Staff and the parties to the proceeding can discuss all of the issues raised by PJM’s filing. In particular, parties should be prepared to discuss the following: 1. According to PJM, RPM markets are physical markets, and any resource bid into an RPM auction should intend to physically provide any offered capacity that clears in the relevant delivery year. Can PJM distinguish between companies purchasing capacity resources in the incremental auctions to make up shortfalls due to difficulties meeting their obligation and companies that arbitrage between the base residual and incremental auctions? How will the informational requirements for DR resources under this proposal help guarantee that DR resources are using the Incremental Auctions as intended? 2. Do generating resources face comparable informational requirements? If there are differences, what are the reasons for those differences?

PJM states that its proposed changes will allow it to make a ‘‘more reasoned assessment’’ of a DR Provider’s reliance on expected commitments. How will PJM determine whether submitted milestones are reasonable? How much discretion will PJM staff exercise in accepting Sell Offer Plans? 4. What is the impact on reliability of the observed increase in purchases of replacement capacity through the Incremental Auctions as compared to the Base Residual Auction? What are the effects on price for end-use customers? What evidence is there that DR obligated to perform by the start of a Delivery Year, or replacement capacity purchased through the Incremental Auctions, is less capable of meeting performance obligations than generation or DR that cleared through the Base Residual Auction? Are there indications that the DR that cleared in the Base Residual Auction in zones with high DR penetration is less likely to show up, or perform in the delivery year, than in other zones? Are there other reliability issues that stem from high DR penetration in these zones? 5. Do the recent series of Incremental Auctions with lower clearing prices than the Base Residual Auction result directly from RPM’s market rules or some other factor? Following the conference, the Commission will consider posttechnical conference comments submitted by November 27, 2013.

    At the technical conference, the Commission Staff and the parties

In particular, parties should be prepared to discuss the following:
    1. According to PJM, RPM markets are physical markets, and any 
resource bid into an RPM auction should intend to physically provide 
any offered capacity that clears in the relevant delivery year. Can PJM 
distinguish between companies purchasing capacity resources in the 
incremental auctions to make up shortfalls due to difficulties meeting 
their obligation and companies that arbitrage between the base residual 
and incremental auctions? How will the informational requirements for 
DR resources under this proposal help guarantee that DR resources are 
using the Incremental Auctions as intended?
    2. Do generating resources face comparable informational 
requirements? If there are differences, what are the reasons for those 
differences? Do the existing information requirements for generators 
reduce the rate with which these resources buy out their obligations in 
the Incremental Auctions?
    3. PJM states that its proposed changes will allow it to make a 
``more reasoned assessment'' of a DR Provider's reliance on expected 
commitments. How will PJM determine whether submitted milestones are 
reasonable? How much discretion will PJM staff exercise in accepting 
Sell Offer Plans?
    4. What is the impact on reliability of the observed increase in 
purchases of replacement capacity through the Incremental Auctions as 
compared to the Base Residual Auction? What are the effects on price 
for end-use customers? What evidence is there that DR obligated to 
perform by the start of a Delivery Year, or replacement capacity 
purchased through the Incremental Auctions, is less capable of meeting
