Recently, PJM released its Winter Outlook, outlining the supply available to meet their forecasted peak demand of 141,200 MW. PJM does not seem concerned about supplying this demand even though winter peak demand has risen by 4,000 MW since 2022. On top of that, retirements of coal and natural gas have increased, and there has been little progress on the replacement generation due to backlogged interconnection queues, driving up the 2025-2026 PJM Capacity Auction Prices. Despite these risks, PJM appears to be in a decent position, especially with forecasts pointing to a warmer-than-usual winter for much of the region. ??

A major cooldown is set to sweep across parts of the U.S. this week. Starting Tuesday, the first major atmospheric river will bring rain and strong winds to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, along with significant snowfall in higher elevations. With snowpack still sparse in these areas, this storm will mark an important kickoff for building winter snow reserves. The more snow this winter, the better the hydro conditions in the spring. Meanwhile, a cold front will move across the Central Plains later this week, bringing below-normal temperatures for regions within MISO, SPP, and Western PJM. While demand is expected to rise from current levels, no record-breaking peaks are anticipated. However, heating degree days (HDDs) will begin to make their mark in these areas in the short term. This typical winter pattern is expected to persist in the coming months, with more atmospheric rivers and low-pressure systems ahead with winter’s arrival just around the corner.
