Hear from Policy-makers, Regulators, Utility, IPP and Demand Response Executives about how the coming changes will impact the largest energy market in the US:

- How extreme weather events are driving PJM Market rule changes

- How changes to capacity and energy markets, uplift payment processes and obligations will affect new generation builds and asset acquisitions

Featured Speakers:

- Craig Glazer, Vice President-Federal Government Policy, PJM INTERCONNECTION

- Adam Keech, Director, Market Operations, PJM INTERCONNECTION

The past winter was an eye-opener for PJM market participants and stakeholders: extreme weather events and gas supply issues drove power prices to unprecedented highs, and highlighted potential market flaws. As a wave of environmentally-driven plant closures begins to mount, questions arise as to what the most economically efficient and reliable strategies are to replace them. Are changes to the capacity and energy markets needed to create incentives for a wave of gas-plant builds? How will DR be handled in the future after a court vacated FERC Order 745? What might be needed to increase gas deliveries from the Marcellus fields and pipeline access for generators? What changes are contemplated to uplift payments, and will they create winners and losers among existing generators and traders? Will new EPA regulations necessitate changes to strategic and operating plans? Only those with indepth knowledge of these radical developments will be able to capitalize on these opportunities.
