Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 67 / Friday, April 9, 2021 / Notices
a. Should PJM’s capacity market
address this concern, and if so, how? Is
there an option to address potential
financing challenges by adjusting the
parameters that establish the capacity
market demand curve, such as changes
to the net cost of new entry (Net CONE)
estimate? For example, Net CONE
estimates could be adjusted by reducing
the expected economic life of the
reference unit used to establish Net
CONE, increasing the reference unit’s
cost of capital to reflect higher risks, or
through changes to the shape of the
demand curve.
b. Many state polices related to
electric generation (e.g., renewable
portfolio standards) are specified in
statute and include timelines (often
decades into the future) that investors
can use to estimate the timing, type, and
quantity of state supported resources
entering PJM’s markets and potential
market impacts. To what extent does the
transparency of such state polices
mitigate or reduce these risks to
merchant resources?
c. Would a capacity market with a
Targeted MOPR provide a sufficient
incentive for capacity to enter the PJM
market when needed to ensure resource
adequacy?
(20) What changes are needed to
ensure PJM’s energy and ancillary
services markets send appropriate price
signals and ensure sufficient incentives
for investment?
(21) What is FERC’s responsibility
toward states in the PJM region that
have chosen a state policy of not
subsidizing their preferred resources in
light of the competitive capacity
market?
(22) How urgent is the need to
reconcile PJM’s capacity market rules
and state policies? Could PJM or the
Commission adopt a phased approach
with short-term and long-term
solutions? For example, could shortterm actions include eliminating the
Expanded MOPR and replacing it with
a Targeted MOPR? What long-term
solutions are needed, if any?
