Co-Located Load Order Workshop

2026 Co-Located Load Order

On December 18, 2025, in Docket Nos. EL25-49-000, EL25-49-001, AD24-11-000, and EL25-20-000, the Commission issued an order finding that PJM’s Tariff is unjust and unreasonable because it does not contain provisions addressing with sufficient clarity or consistency the rates, terms, and conditions of service that apply to generators serving Co-Located Load and Eligible Customers taking transmission service on behalf of Co-Located Load. The Commission found specifically that PJM’s Tariff does not include types of transmission service that reflect Eligible Customers taking service on behalf of Co-Located Loads that are willing and able to limit their use of the transmission system under certain conditions. Additionally, the Order determines that PJM’s existing Behind the Meter Generation rules have become unjust and unreasonable because they raise reliability and resource adequacy risks and are inconsistent with cost causation.

The Commission additionally ordered PJM to make several compliance filings to revise its Tariff accordingly and ordered PJM to submit an informational report within 30 days of the order. The Commission also set certain matters for paper hearing, and established a paper hearing schedule. The Commission directed PJM to submit several filings, with the first compliance filing and informational report due on January 20, 2026. Other compliance filings and paper hearing submissions are due starting on February 17, 2026.

2025 Co-Located Load Show Cause Order

On February 20, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission instituted proceedings under section 206 of the Federal Power Act directing PJM and the PJM Transmission Owners to, among other things, show cause why the Tariff, Operating Agreement and Reliability Assurance Agreement remain just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential without provisions addressing with sufficient clarity or consistence the rates, terms and conditions of service that apply to colocation arrangements (Docket No. EL25-49).

Among other things, the Commission directed PJM and the PJM Transmission Owners to consider addressing responses to 38 questions set forth in paragraph 88 of the order on topics including applicable jurisdiction, transmission service, ancillary or other wholesale services, interconnection procedures and cost allocation, PJM capacity market, reliability, resource adequacy, and other issues. FERC directed the submission of responses to the order by March 24, 2025, with responses to these initial filings due by April 23, 2025. PJM will convene a virtual stakeholder workshop to receive presentations and thoughts from stakeholders regarding the topics and issues (including the 38 questions) in the Commission’s February 20 show cause order.
