(a) Investigation.--The commission shall investigate the methodologies, data and assumptions used by utilities when developing load forecasts submitted to PJM.
(b) Conduct.--In conducting the investigation under subsection (a), the commission shall have the following duties:
(1) Review materials, data sets and filings that utilities provide to PJM for load forecasting.
(2) Evaluate the accuracy, consistency and transparency of forecasting methods and assumptions.
(3) Review and audit specific large-load interconnection requests to ensure that only projects with a high likelihood of development are included in a forecast, including consideration of financial commitments made by an interconnecting customer.
(4) Coordinate with PJM so that Pennsylvania forecasts are incorporated into regional planning on a fair, accurate and nonduplicative basis.
(5) Collaborate with PJM and other state utility commissions within the PJM footprint to prevent double-counting of new large loads and customer contracts and to assess whether other state practices would improve this Commonwealth's approach.
(c) Outcome.--The commission may issue or promulgate orders, guidance or regulations as necessary to implement this section.
