Take notice that the technical conference will be held on July 28,

The scope of the conference will include, among other related
issues, a discussion of: (1) Whether exempting self-supply resources
from PJM's MOPR presents an opportunity to exercise buyer market power;

viable option for those wishing to self-supply; and (3) whether there
are alternatives to the FRR option that allow parties to self-supply
while deterring buyer market power.
