PJM Issues Hot Weather Alert and Maximum Generation Alert for July 29
The Mid-Atlantic Power Grid (PJM) has issued two alerts for its 13-state and D.C. service area on July 28, as high temperatures continue to rise. A Hot Weather Alert informs consumers that no action is required, while a Maximum Generation Alert signals the potential need for PJM to reduce electricity exports to neighboring grids, allowing them to adjust their plans in advance. The alerts also prompt transmission and generation owners to evaluate maintenance schedules to ensure power generation remains operational amidst expected peak electricity demand of around 160,000 MW on July 29.
