Report: Regional power grid prepared for hotter, wetter summer
- On Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission published reports from PJM and key electric distribution companies outlining their preparations for the 2025 summer season amid expected high demand and weather-related challenges.
- These reports include an extreme scenario where demand could exceed 166,000 megawatts, potentially causing supply shortfalls under hotter, wetter summer conditions forecast by NOAA.
- PJM Interconnection, the regional grid operator, projects a peak demand of about 154,000 megawatts and has implemented demand response programs to manage potential shortages.
- PJM has 179,200 megawatts of capacity and can call on users to reduce consumption by 7,900 megawatts if needed, with one megawatt powering roughly 800 homes.
- PUC Chairman Stephen M. DeFrank noted the extensive preparations and stressed that understanding past events like the late-April storm knocking out power to 500,000 customers is crucial moving forward.
