Duquesne Light Company's Default Service Plan

Data

DAT 00010

Question: Are the PLC and NSPL in the dataroom scaled by daily zonal scaling factor. Do we need to apply PJM RPM daily zonal scaling factor to get the PJM daily PLC?

Answer: PJM does not scale the daily PLC and NSPL because Duquesne Light Company provides the amounts to PJM already scaled. PJM applies a 1.0 scaling factor.

Question: We calculated the sum of all tabs' 6/30/25 values for 5CP MW-DAY under TOTALS as 2679.91, but the PJM Summer 2024 Weather Normalized Coincident Peaks (MW) report shows 2640. We expected these figures to be identical or very similar. Can you help us understand the discrepancy?

Answer: PJM posted the weather normalized number for the 2025/2026 planning year.  The numbers PJM posted are accurate for that planning year.  The auction in March should be using the PLC Values 2026/2027 planning year results.  The weather normalized number provided by PJM is 2,610. The NSPL values on the Load and Other Data page differ due to the addition of addbacks.
