After the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission directed PJM Interconnection not to run the Base Residual Auction in August, KeyBanc analyst Sophie Karp said the ruling ends near-term anxiety around the potential outcome of the auction. The analyst, who does not think the path forward will be "speedy or efficient," thinks PJM companies may be incentivised to seek compensation for their capacity via alternative mechanisms. She noted that PSEG (PEG) has previously indicated it might lean on the New Jersey BGS auction more heavily and Illinois state lawmakers debated the creation of a separate capacity market in the state.
