PJM's latest capacity auction cleared at the $325/MW-day price cap, below the uncapped $555/MW-day level, and fell 6.8 GW short of the target reliability requirement. PSEG notes the collar will remain in place through the December 2026 auction. — The gap between capped and uncapped prices signals the threat of forced procurement (RVP/IRAS), which could distort capacity market prices and increase costs for LSEs and consumers.
Evidence
“PGM's latest capacity auction priced at $325 per megawatt day, the upper end of the price collar, and fell 6.8 gigawatts short of PGM's targeted reliability requirement.”

PJM's latest capacity auction cleared at the $325/MW-day price cap, below the uncapped $555/MW-day level, and fell 6.8 GW short of the target reliability requirement. PSEG notes the collar will remain in place through the December 2026 auction.
PSEG is pursuing new-build gas generation opportunities through PJM's Reliability Backstop Process (RBP), indicating a strategic shift back into competitive generation development after exiting the business years ago.
Evidence
“PSEG Power recently submitted several project proposals throughout the region that may qualify as new, dispatchable generation that could be paired with new, large loads through bilateral contracts.”
PSEG is planning a base rate case filing by year-end 2026, citing growing regulatory lag from its historical test year and robust capital program. A base case could reset distribution revenue and margins, after a period of fewer IIPs.
Evidence
“PSE&G currently anticipates filing by year-end 2026 to update base rates.”
