BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Second Supplemental Notice of Technical Conference Docket Nos. PJM Interconnection, L.L.C ER15-2562-000 ER15-2563-000 Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. v. PJM Interconnection, L.L.C EL15-18-001 Linden VFT, LLC v. PJM Interconnection, L.L.C EL15-67-000 Delaware Public Service Commission and Maryland Public Service Commission v. PJM Interconnection, L.L.C EL15-95-000 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C ER14-972-003 PJM Interconnection, L.L.C ER14-1485-005 Not Consolidated As noticed on December 4, 2015, the Commission has directed Commission staff to conduct a technical conference in the above-referenced proceedings.
The technical conference is scheduled for January 12, 2016, at the Commission's headquarters at 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426 between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). In an order dated November 24, 2015, 1 the Commission found that the assignment of cost allocation for the projects in the filings and complaints listed in the caption using PJM's solution-based distribution factor
(DFAX)cost allocation method had not been shown to be just and reasonable and may be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly discriminatory or preferential. The Commission directed its staff to establish a technical conference to explore both whether there is a definable category of reliability projects within PJM for which the solution-based DFAX cost allocation method may not be just and reasonable, such as projects addressing reliability violations that are not related to flow on the planned transmission facility, and whether an alternative just and reasonable *ex ante* cost allocation method could be established for any such category of projects. 1 *PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., et al.,* 153 FERC ¶ 61,245
