Chairman opened by warning that recent heat events pushed many grid operators close to resource limits and presented PJM system statistics: a January winter peak of 145 gigawatts and a summer peak this week of 161 gigawatts; he emphasized that dispatchable generation (88% in January, 83% at the summer peak) and roughly 10 gigawatts of reserves prevented outages and that demand response (DR) was essential.
