The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ordered PJM Interconnection, LLC’s (PJM) on July 25 to suspend its 2019 Base Residual Auction (BRA), which provides for capacity payments to electric generators. FERC found that delaying the auction until FERC establishes a replacement rate would provide greater certainty to the market than conducting the auction under the existing rules.

This is the second time that the 2019 BRA, which provides for capacity payments for 2022–2023, has been delayed. PJM originally planned to run the auction in May, but delayed it based on a prior FERC order. FERC’s July 25 order delays the 2019 BRA until FERC establishes a replacement rate.
