RTO Operations

Between 2002 and 2011, the IEP’s executive leadership managed all interfaces between PJM and Allegheny Energy Supply’s generation fleet.  IEP's leadership managed a 24/7 round-the-clock dispatch floor to respond to real-time market opportunities, communicate with PJM system operators regarding the operating status of the Allegheny Energy Supply generation fleet, and interact with power station operators to discuss emerging operational issues at the plants and provide market instructions. This effort included the preparation of detailed cost curves for each power plant based on prevailing fuel prices, submittal of daily plant offers into PJM for potential dispatch, scheduling short- and long-term planned and unplanned outages, and managing Allegheny’s capacity position in PJM.
