As extreme heat continues to grip the East Coast, emergency alerts have been issued by PJM Interconnection to manage power demand amid rising temperatures. With electricity prices soaring and the potential for grid strain, PJM has received emergency approval to limit power usage in data centers and other large loads. The Department of Energy has confirmed that PJM can reduce data center energy consumption during emergencies. There are concerns about the upcoming summer season as utilities prepare for potential power demands, and advisories have been released in both the PJM and SPP regions to ensure adequate supply. The situation highlights the pressing need for off-season repairs and readiness as the population prepares for hotter than normal conditions.
