Who is responsible for determining the amount of Black Start generation required in a transmission zone?

PJM
The Generation Owner
The Transmission Owner
The Load-serving Entities in the zone

The correct answer is: PJM

The responsibility for determining the amount of Black Start generation required in a transmission zone primarily lies with PJM (the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection). PJM operates as a regional transmission organization (RTO) and plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and stability of the power grid. As part of its functions, PJM assesses the overall needs for Black Start capabilities, which are essential for restoring grid operations after a blackout. This involves analyzing the transmission system and making decisions regarding the necessary resources to initiate the restoration process effectively. PJM coordinates with various stakeholders, but its centralized control and planning functions enable it to evaluate the zone's requirements comprehensively. Therefore, it's tasked with determining the precise amount of Black Start generation that will be necessary in a given area, ensuring that there is a robust plan to restore power seamlessly and efficiently in the event of a grid failure.
