PJMCCC Charter.docx

The PJM Cities and Communities Coalition (PJMCCC) Charter outlines the governance, membership, and strategic goals of a coalition of local governments and communities within the PJM territory. The coalition aims to remove barriers to decarbonization in the regional wholesale electricity market through capacity building, partnerships, and collective action.

• The PJMCCC's primary mission is to coordinate cities and communities within the PJM territory to remove and prevent barriers to decarbonization in the regional wholesale electricity market, leveraging their roles as both public sector entities and large electricity users.
• The coalition focuses on driving decarbonization at the wholesale market level, which involves engagement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), PJM, utilities, and other stakeholders.
• PJMCCC supports specific PJM actions including the preservation of policies that open markets to low-carbon energy, organizational and governance reforms for equitable end-user input, the enhancement of climate resilience, and the maintenance of transparency and accountability in PJM operations.
• The coalition supports a variety of decarbonization solutions, specifically mentioning renewable energy, demand side management, energy efficiency, energy storage applications, carbon pricing, and beneficial electrification such as electric vehicles.
• Membership is structured into four tiers based on the level of participation and influence: Dual Member (members of both PJM and PJMCCC with voting rights in PJM), Participating Member (active PJMCCC members), Observing Member (capacity building), and Educational Member (limited to learning and not included in engagement activities).
• Governance is managed by a Steering Committee (SC) that handles fundraising, agenda setting, and administrative support. The SC target composition is five people, ideally including representatives from the Dual, Participating, and Observing tiers.
• Decision-making processes vary by the impact of the decision: long-term operational changes and SC selection are decided by in-person or virtual consensus at an annual summit, while near-term decisions and policy positions are handled via electronic voting.
