The PJM Interconnection experienced its second winter in a row with new winter peak records, but the grid performed better in the winter of 2014-15 than the previous winter, according to a report by the independent system operator released Wednesday.
PJM’s new record peak demand of 143,086 MW was set February 20, after extremely low temperatures caused demand to spike, according to the report. The prior record was 142,863 MW set January 7, 2014.
