The PJM manuals are the administrative, planning, operating and accounting
procedures of the PJM Interconnection and are available below in PDF format.
Prior versions of the manuals are also below for comparison of the changes that
occurred between the current and prior versions of the manuals.
Process for Adding, Deleting and Revising PJM Manuals
The process to amend the procedures and processes found within PJM Manuals (“Manuals”)
is addressed throughout the PJM
Members Handbook (PDF). The Manual amendment process is implemented within
the PJM committee structure, where in these open meetings Manual changes are
either proposed by PJM staff or by members. If a member wants to propose a Manual
amendment, the member representative is free to make such proposals yet needs
to provide justification within the committee structure for why the change is
needed. The following are highlights
of this open amendment process:
Proposed Manual revisions are reviewed by the PJM Market Implementation
Committee (MIC) and/or the Operating Committee (OC) in the first instance.
See PJM Committee Structure, Market Implementation Committee Charter,
Members
Handbook page 11; PJM Committee Structure, Operating Committee Charter,
Members
Handbookk page 12.
After MIC or OC review, the PJM Markets and Reliability Committee (MRC)
is charged with reviewing proposed changes to the PJM Manuals after they are
reviewed by the MIC and the OC.
See PJM Committee Structure, Markets and Reliability Committee, Members
Handbook page 9.
The MRC, MIC and OC meetings are open to all members
Because they are lower committees, prior to all the OC and MIC meetings,
PJM is required to post, at least three calendar days before the meeting,
a description of the action requested of the Members, with links to the full
text of any material and all necessary supporting materials
Prior to all PJM Senior Committee meetings (which includes the MRC),
PJM is required to post, at least seven calendar days before the meeting,
a description of the action requested of the Members, with links to the
full text of any material and all necessary supporting materials
This posting process applies to Manual additions, deletions or revisions
under consideration in MIC, OC and MRC meetings.
After members within the committee structure have review proposed changes,
PJM implements the changes and posts an annual
list of such changes. b. PJM Manuals are available in PDF
format below.
