Appendix

Performance Measurement of Demand Response in the PJM Capacity Market; ER11-3322-000

July 29, 2011

Agenda

9 a.m.-9:15 a.m. Greeting and Opening Remarks

9:15 a.m.-11:15 a.m. Discussion on Reliability Issues

1. Whether the customer baseline load (CBL) or peak load contribution (PLC) is a more accurate capacity market performance measure of what a demand response customer would have consumed in the absence of an instruction to reduce load.

2. Whether the current PJM add-back process under the guaranteed load drop (GLD) option, which is used to calculate peak load for capacity for the following delivery year, accurately reflects the fact that the load reduction of an over-performing demand response customer (i.e. a customer that provides a level of response greater than the MW nominated for it in the capacity auction) has been used to support an under-performing customer (i.e. a customer that provides a level of response less than the nominated MW) in a portfolio aggregated to meet the capacity commitment.

3. Whether PJM dispatchers account for PLCs during an emergency.

4. Whether any load in PJM can be at load levels in excess of PLC during an emergency.

11:15 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Break

11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Discussion on Capacity Obligations

5. Discuss the capacity obligations of end-use customers whose demand response resources have been committed in a prior RPM auction.

6. Whether a demand response resource should be obligated to reduce below its PLC during an emergency event, even if the magnitude of supply that the resource is providing is otherwise equivalent to its capacity commitment.

7. Whether the PLC limit on nominations in the capacity auction should serve as a basis for requiring load reductions of capacity resources to be below PLC.

12:30 p.m.-1:15 p.m. Lunch Break

1:15 p.m.-2:15 p.m. Discussion on Load Reductions and Incentives

8. Whether the same MW reduction that is voluntarily made by a peak shaving customer in order to reduce capacity costs should also be eligible to receive incentives from PJM's Load Management programs.

9. Whether the current GLD option provides an incentive for aggregators to offset under-performing resources with resources that over-perform.

2:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Discussion on the Impact of PJM's Proposal

10. Whether PJM's proposal undermines the GLD methodology.

11. Whether PJM's proposal unduly discriminates against resources on days other than the coincident peak days and whether PJM's proposal negatively affects Annual Demand Resource aggregations.
