Docket No. AD26-7-00
Commission Seeks Input on Actionable Reforms; Comments Due August 21, 2026
Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) hosted a technical conference, led by its Chairman and Commissioners, centered on reforming PJM Interconnection, L.L.C.’s governance and stakeholder processes so that PJM can more effectively address its operational and market challenges as the region experiences unprecedented load growth.
As promised at the conference, FERC today issued a notice inviting post-conference comments from stakeholders, with submissions due by August 21, 2026, to further solidify next steps and tangible actions.
“The PJM governance conference proved to be extremely productive, sparking valuable dialogue among participants. Now is the time to build on that momentum by bringing bold and actionable ideas to the table,” FERC Chairman Laura V. Swett said. “I strongly encourage every stakeholder to fully engage in this process, because, together, we have the opportunity to deliver a transformative outcome for PJM.”
While commenters are welcome to submit comments on the panel topics and associated questions supported by examples and evidence, the notice seeks direct feedback on potential reforms discussed at the conference.
The Commission will issue a future notice establishing a forum with FERC’s Dispute Resolution Service to assist with solidifying actionable steps and chart a clear path forward for improving PJM’s governance and stakeholder processes. The dispute resolution process will commence on September 1, 2026.
