On July 12, 2024, in Docket Nos. EL24-73-001, ER24-994-002, ER24-995-002 and ER24-1001-002, PJM filed an answer to the request for rehearing and clarification of the Commission’s May 28, 2024 order filed by Welcome Solar, LLC, Welcome Solar II, LLC, and Welcome Solar III, LLC (collectively, Welcome Solar). PJM argued that Welcome Solar’s request for rehearing essentially seeks to strip PJM of its discretion under the Tariff to extend service agreement milestone dates for a reasonable amount of time, if the developer meets the test. PJM also argued that Welcome Solar’s requested clarification would require consideration of legal arguments that are beyond the scope of these proceedings.
