Scientific forecasts for the PJM electricity market

United States - PJM Market

Scientifically-backed forecasts for a sustainable energy transition

The electricity market in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States is operated by PJM Interconnection, one of the largest and oldest regional transmission organizations (RTOs) in the country. PJM manages the electricity system and administers wholesale markets for energy, capacity, ancillary services, and transmission across 13 states and the District of Columbia. Its market began operating in 1997 and today represents one of the most complex and advanced structures globally.

PJM’s generation mix is diverse, with significant contributions from natural gas, nuclear, coal, and, increasingly, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

In the coming years, the electricity system managed by PJM will face accelerated transformation:

PJM is adapting its grid planning and market design to enable massive integration of distributed and utility-scale renewable energy, driven by state policies and federal incentives.
Significant growth is anticipated in solar and wind generation, as well as in battery storage, particularly in states such as Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
PJM operates a crucial capacity market to ensure long-term system reliability, which is currently under review to adapt to the energy transition.
The operator is promoting technological innovation and the participation of new energy resources, such as demand response and distributed energy resources (DERs), across all its markets.
