2017-07545. Potomac Economics, Ltd. v. PJM Interconnection, LLC; Notice of Complaint

Take notice that on April 6, 2017, pursuant to sections 206 and 306 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824e and 825e, and Rule 206 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206 (2016), Potomac Economics, Ltd. (Complainant) filed a formal complaint against PJM Interconnection, LLC (Respondent) seeking revision of Respondent's Open Access Transmission Tariff and Reliability Assurance Agreement Among Load-Serving Entities in the PJM Region (Agreements). Complainant asserts that the Commission should direct the Respondent to revise these agreements by eliminating the existing pseudo-tie requirement that Complainant argues is unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory, all as more fully explained in the complaint.
