PJM Summer Outlook 2025: Adequate Resources Available for Summer Amid Growing Risk
- On May 9, 2025, PJM released its Summer Outlook from Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, forecasting high electricity demand and potential resource challenges.
- This outlook arises from factors including accelerating demand growth, generator retirements, and slower new resource builds, as detailed in PJM's 2023 paper.
- PJM expects summer peak load to reach just over 154,000 MW but notes generation capacity could fall short under extreme scenarios exceeding 166,000 MW, requiring demand response.
- PJM has 179,200 MW of generation capacity and 7,900 MW of contracted demand response, where customers reduce electricity use during emergencies, with participation now expanded year-round by FERC.
- PJM is deploying AI tools to streamline generation interconnection and advancing 51 projects adding 9,300 MW by 2031 to enhance reliability amid hotter-than-normal summer conditions.
