⚡️ 🔌 Looking at the RRI program from PJM, does anyone have a sense of what happens if a capacity bid doesn't clear for any of the required 10 years? Or are they price takers? From page 31 of PJM's recent IPS Special Session on their Reliability Resource Initiative. Link: www.pjm.com/-/media/DotC...

Does anyone have a good link for PJM's full RIR program? Seeing great articles and old powerpoints, but would appreciate the real thing (or a draft of it)! Article: www.eenews.net/articles/pjm... Presentation: www.pjm.com/-/media/comm... Real document: ??? #EnergySky
