Welcome to PJM’s new Issue Tracking Web page. Issue Tracking is a helpful feature that allows you to:

• View a comprehensive list of all significant issues affecting PJM and its members.
• Track a single issue across the PJM stakeholder process without searching numerous committee Web pages to monitor progress.

Here you will find up-to-date information that fully describes each issue and places it in context. Meeting materials and other associated documents are at your fingertips to explore issue details, to learn what solution alternatives have been identified and which are gaining stakeholder support, and to assess the impact of decisions made to date. You can check periodically on the status of issues you are interested in and track their progress through the stakeholder process toward completion.

Your feedback is needed to help make continued improvements to Issue Tracking. Please let us know what new features and capabilities would enhance Issue Tracking and aid your understanding of issues.
