The PJM Interconnection recorded a new winter demand peak Friday as frigid weather fueled electricity demand across the grid operator’s footprint, it said in a statement. PJM said demand topped out at about 143,800 MW around 8 am EST (1300 GMT), according to preliminary data. Real-time power prices at the peak of demand were around $500/MWh for many of the major PJM zones. –Eric Wieser, [email protected] –Edited by Keiron Greenhalgh, [email protected]
