“FERC should reform market rules that unduly discriminate against dispatchable resources needed for reliability.”

What has happened

Aug 31, 2026 Not started
No FERC reform of market rules that discriminate against dispatchable resources was found. FERC held a resource-adequacy technical conference series through 2025, annual reliability technical conferences in 2025 and 2026, and a PJM governance and stakeholder reform conference series in 2026, but issued no rule or order changing market rules on the record available.

Research notes

Technical conferences are inquiry, not directives, so they do not reach attempted.

FERC orders are not published in the Federal Register, and ferc.gov would not open for us, so any Commission order after the notices cited could not be read.
