Stakeholder Processes Aiming to Increase the Pace of Adding Generating \nCapacity in the PJM Region \ni. Increasing the Pace of Adding Generating Capacity Through Markets \n1. Powering Reliability Through Market Design \nFollowing the PJM Board’s January 16, 2026 Decisional Letter on the CIFP for Large Load \nAdditions directing staff to undertake a holistic review of the PJM capacity market design and \ninvestment incentives,20 PJM released a report on Powering Reliability Through Market Design.21  \nThis report delineated three potential paths forward:  (1) stabilizing PJM’s long-term market; (2) \nallowing for differential reliability between regions within the PJM Region; and (3) pursuing a \ntransition from reliance on the Reliability Pricing Model (“RPM”) for resource adequacy to the \nenergy and Ancillary Services markets.22  The first solution path preserves the existing capacity \n \n18 Id. \n19 Id. \n20 See PJM, Board Decisional Letter on Critical Issue Fast Path - Large Load Additions (Jan. 16, 2026), \nhttps://www.pjm.com/-/media/DotCom/about-pjm/who-we-are/public-disclosures/2026/20260116-pjm-board-letter-\nre-results-of-the-cifp-process-large-load-additions.pdf.  \n21 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., Powering Reliability Through Market Design (May 6, 2026), \nhttps://www.pjm.com/-/media/DotCom/library/reports-notices/special-reports/2026/20260506-powering-reliability-\nthrough-market-design.pdf. \n22 Id. at 7."},{"page":7,"startToken":2109,"endToken":2415,"text":"Honorable Debbie-Anne A.

The EIT was developed through the \nCritical Issue Fast Path – Large Load Addition (“CIFP-LLA”) stakeholder process36 which \nculminated in a Special MC meeting on November 19, 2025.
