Federal regulators have accepted the PJM Interconnection’s proposal to stop including energy efficiency resources in its capacity auctions, concluding that the move will reduce retail electricity bills while continuing to account for efficiency-driven load reductions on the demand side.
PJM began making capacity payments for energy efficiency resources in 2009, but the grid operator’s market monitor filed a complaint this summer with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission asking for the practice to be stopped.
Monitoring Analytics said in a July 10 filing that capacity payments to energy efficiency resources total $126 million for the 2024/25 delivery year, but efficiency resources “are already compensated through the PJM markets to the extent that they actually reduce customer payments for energy and capacity.”
