On August 11, 2022, in Case No. 21-1368, PJM filed its brief in opposition to Old Dominion Electric Cooperative’s (ODEC) petition to the Supreme Court of the United States filed on April 19, 2022. ODEC filed its petition for writ of certiorari to appeal the January 19, 2022 opinion by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the Fourth Circuit), which affirmed on appeal the judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the District Court) granting PJM’s motion to dismiss ODEC’s claims for almost $15 million in damages with prejudice allegedly incurred during the January 2014 Polar Vortex. The Fourth Circuit agreed with the District Court that ODEC’s claims for compensation fall entirely within the PJM Tariff and therefore are exclusively governed by federal law and barred by the filed-rate doctrine. The judgment of the District Court denying remand and dismissing Old Dominion’s claims with prejudice was affirmed.

On August 11, 2022, in Docket No. ER22-2635-000, PJM submitted on behalf of Virginia Electric and Power Company, doing business as Dominion Energy Virginia (Dominion), revisions to Attachment H-16C of the PJM Tariff to update the prior-year actual Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) expense to reflect the 2021 actual OPEB expense under Dominion’s transmission formula rate. Dominion requests that the revisions to Attachment H-16C become effective October 11, 2022.

On June 5, 2022, in Docket No. ER22-2163-000, the commission issued a letter order accepting the filing by PJM on behalf of East Kentucky Power Cooperative, Inc. (EKPC) of revisions/modifications to the Open Access Transmission Tariff, Attachment H-24, Appendix D to revise the depreciation rates to be used when calculating EKPC’s annual transmission revenue requirement. EKPC's revisions to the Open Access Transmission Tariff, Attachment H-24, Appendix D become effective as of June 1, 2022.
