The PJM Interconnection’s “status quo is really untenable,” David LaCerte, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission commissioner, said Thursday.
PJM’s stakeholder process has “continued to just grind into gridlock,” he said at a meeting in Philadelphia hosted by WIRES, an advocacy group for utilities and others in the transmission sector.
FERC is slated to hold a technical conference on July 23 focused on PJM’s governance issues. Among other things, the conference aims to discuss “potential concrete actionable reforms to improve the effectiveness of the PJM stakeholder process and create fast-path or time-bound review procedures for critical issues.”
Some sectors use PJM’s stakeholder process to defend their business interests to the detriment of the wider region, according to LaCerte.
