Workshop on PJM ARR and FTR Market


Course Title: Workshop on PJM ARR and FTR Market
Description: Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs) are financial instruments that entitle the holder to a stream of revenues (or charges) based on the hourly day-ahead energy price differences across the transmission path.

The purpose of an FTR is to provide all market participants the ability to have price certainty when delivering energy across the PJM system. FTRs provide a hedging mechanism that can be traded separately from transmission service. They do not represent a right for physical delivery of power.

Throughout the year, PJM oversees the process of selling and buying FTRs through FTR auctions. Market participants purchase FTRs by participating in annual and monthly FTR auctions.

Auction Revenue Rights (ARRs) are the mechanism by which the proceeds from the FTR auctions are allocated. ARRs are entitlements allocated annually in the annual ARR allocation to firm transmission service customers that entitle the holder to receive an allocation of the revenues from the annual FTR auction. The proceeds from the annual FTR auction are distributed to ARR holders
