Illinois AG Filed Petition for Review of FERC’s PJM Minimum Offer Price Rule Order

APRIL 20, 2020

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul filed a petition for review on behalf of the Illinois Commerce Commission challenging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) December 2019 order that expanded the minimum offer price rule (MOPR) in PJM Interconnection’s forward capacity market. The MOPR establishes an offer floor for certain electricity generators participating in the capacity market, penalizing state-supported clean energy resources and hampering states’ efforts to transition to clean energy.
