PJM Rings in New Year with Two New Grid Systems

PJM Interconnection on Sunday began operational control of the transmission systems of Duke Energy Ohio and Duke Energy Kentucky, both subsidiaries of Duke Energy, and began administering open, competitive wholesale electricity markets in those areas, the regional grid operator said on Jan 1.

 “PJM now includes 185,600 MW of generating capacity and more than 62,000 miles of transmission lines,” PJM said. “The generators in PJM can produce more electricity than Canada and Mexico combined.”
