PJM Sees Ample Power Resources to Meet Winter Demand Despite Growing Electricity Needs
PJM Interconnection, which serves 67 million people across 13 states and Washington D.C., has made a positive assessment of its winter power resources, projecting an operational capacity of 180,800 megawatts to meet forecasted peak demand of approximately 145,700 megawatts during the coming winter season. Despite a rise in electricity demand that is outpacing new generation additions, PJM credits ongoing operational enhancements with optimizing generator performance under challenging winter conditions, resulting in a reduced risk of widespread power outages and improved grid resilience.
