Customized Energy Solutions (CES) will be hosting a webinar on July 30, 2026, at 1pm ET entitled: How PJM’s Reliability Backstop and Connect & Manage Programs Affect Large Loads, Generators, DRs, EDCs, and LSEs.
The webinar will cover how PJM is advancing two proceedings that will reshape large load cost responsibility in its capacity market: the Reliability Backstop Procurement and Connect & Manage.

- Connect & Manage: the transmission product under development and its implications for large load interruptibility
- Co-location: how PJM and FERC are addressing shared load/generation interconnections
- Cost allocation: PJM’s EDC methodology and parallel state-level proceedings
