Question:
When is a Reactive Reserve Check (RRC) necessary?

Answer:
RRC is only necessary upon the request of PJM’s dispatchers; transmission owners cannot submit RRC data until PJM creates a new RRC for their zone(s). Generally, PJM requests an RRC during capacity deficient conditions, when a Heavy Load Voltage Schedule Warning is implemented, or as part of an RRC test to ensure operator readiness.
