PJM will perform maintenance to eGADS in the production environment on Monday, December 4, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EPT (0900 to 1300 hours). This maintenance will cause an outage to eGADs and stakeholders will not be able to access eGADs during this time. This outage is needed as a part of the eGADS Account Manager integration upgrade. In preparation for this upgrade, if not done, all eGADS users will need to supply PJM with an Account Manager user account name and their existing eGADS username.You may utilize an existing Account Manager user account if you have one. If not, you must register for a new user account.

If you have any questions regarding this communication, please contact PJM’s Member Relations or (610) 666-8980.

Due to the non-performance of committed Synchronized Reserve resources during Synchronized Reserve Events since the implementation of Reserve Price Formation (October 1, 2022) and to maintain compliance with NERC Standards, effective from May 19, 2023, PJM will carry an additional 30% on the Reliability requirement component of Synchronized and Primary reserve in the RTO only in the Day-Ahead, and Real-time Markets for all hours until further notice.

For example (rounded to whole MW): If the largest single contingency = 1,630 MW

Default (100% of largest contingency)

Synchronized Reserve requirement: 1,630*1 + 190 = 1,820 MW

Primary Reserve requirement: 1,630*1.5 + 190 = 2,635 MW

30-Minute Reserve requirement: Max(3,000, gas contingency, PR reliability) + 190 = 3,190 MW

Increased reliability by 30%

Synchronized Reserve requirement: 1,630*1.3 + 190 = 2,309 MW

Primary Reserve requirement: 1,630*1.3*1.5 + 190 = 3,369 MW

30-Minute Reserve requirement: Max(3,000, gas contingency, PR reliability) + 190 = 3179 + 190 = 3,369 MW
