Feds act to avoid mid-Atlantic blackouts
The Department of Energy issued an emergency order to PJM Interconnection from October 13 to October 16 to prevent potential power outages in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Washington D.C., caused by high demand and maintenance challenges amid an unseasonal heat wave. The order allows the use of additional backup power resources to ensure reliable electricity supply during this period of elevated demand and transmission outages. PJM confirmed that its procedures and the emergency order aim to maintain power stability, despite the risks posed by unseasonably warm weather and reduced maintenance opportunities.
