MUST-COVER OVERFLOW

beat_cap pjm-teac-ohio-saa-request — Ohio's request to bypass the competitive window via the State Agreement Approach process; equally significant (7) to today's two pjm picks but pjm is at its 2-story soft cap with no pick at significance ≥9 to unlock a third.
beat_cap ercot-tac-large-load-issues-20260825 — Distinct large-load interconnection issue raised at TAC; ercot's 2-story cap is already filled by the significance-9 and significance-8 picks.
beat_cap ercot-2027-as-methodology — Updated AS Methodology whitepaper is background/citation material for today's #1 pick on the same thread, not a separate story; ercot cap is filled regardless.

SELECTED QUEUE

#1 ercot

ERCOT's TAC rejected all three ballot options for the 2027 ancillary services methodology

unverified skeleton ERCOT's TAC rejected all three ballot options for the 2027 ancillary services methodology — the market's compensation overhaul for 2027 remains unresolved.

sig 9 · 25 min · thread ercot-2027-as-methodology-vote · ercot-2027-as-methodology-vote-20260826

TAC's own ballots on all three competing 2027 AS Methodology options failed the same day — no consensus reached on ERCOT's central 2027 compensation redesign, the beat's highest-significance open fight.

#2 ercot

ERCOT NPRR 1347 would rewrite capacity dispatch and energy offer curve rules

unverified skeleton ERCOT NPRR 1347 would rewrite capacity dispatch and energy offer curve rules — market participants should watch how it reshapes offer economics.

sig 8 · 15 min · thread ercot-nprr-1347 · ercot-nprr-1347

New NPRR plus ERCOT's own impact analysis lands the same week — a substantive market-design filing distinct from the AS Methodology ballot fight, not a duplicate of it.

#3 pjm

PJM weighs requiring large loads to ride through grid disturbances

unverified skeleton PJM weighs requiring large loads to ride through grid disturbances — data centers could face new reliability rules as interconnection queues grow.

sig 7 · 20 min · thread pjm-pc-large-load-ride-through · pjm-pc-large-load-ride-through-20260908

Redline plus presentation give a stageable procedural record for a live reliability-standard fight tied directly to data-center interconnection growth.

#4 pjm

PJM floats options for classifying battery storage as a transmission asset

unverified skeleton PJM floats options for classifying battery storage as a transmission asset — the classification would shape how such projects are treated under PJM's rules.

sig 7 · 20 min · thread pjm-pc-storage-transmission-asset · pjm-pc-storage-transmission-asset-20260908 · PRIMARY NEEDED

Options matrix advances the storage-as-transmission classification question the desk has held on watch since it surfaced at MRC — coverage-debt tie-break over the equally-significant Ohio SAA episode.
