Non-Retail Behind the Meter Generation Business Rules

The NRBTMG business rules were established by Settlement Agreement (EL05-127)2 in 2005, before the implementation of the Reliability Pricing Model and Capacity Performance (CP), and before the integration of American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), Duke Energy Ohio & Duke Energy Kentucky (DEOK), and East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC). Since the establishment of the rules, there have been minimal updates to reported NRBTMG MW values, no instance when a NRBTM generator was evaluated for operational performance, and increases in installation of Distributed Energy Resources that may have the total NRBTMG MW value approaching the 3,000 MW cap established by the Settlement Agreement. As a result, there are clarifications in the performance and reporting requirements of NRBTM generators that are needed to ensure all parties, such as PJM, NRBTMG owners and operators, EDCs, municipal electric systems, and electric cooperatives, understand and are able to perform their responsibilities. As per the Settlement Agreement, there is also a need to determine, once the cap is reached, if the business rules, including the cap, need to change.
