A severe heatwave gripping the eastern US has pushed electricity demand to near-record highs, forcing PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest power grid operator, to implement emergency measures. With generator issues and soaring air-conditioning needs, the grid is under immense strain, prompting calls for reduced consumption to avert blackouts. This extreme weather is also impacting July 4th celebrations and causing significant spikes in wholesale electricity prices.
