Bayonne, United States, May 6, 2025 -- Theenergyconsultantnj.com has released a potentially controversial article, "PJM Electricity Rates on Peak Capacity to Rise 833% on June 1st, 2025", bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset. The PJM interconnection is the backbone of the electricity grid for 13 states and the District of Columbia. It serves over 65 million people and businesses from Delaware to Illinois to Virginia. Think of PJM as the electricity traffic controller. It directs the power flow to reach homes, businesses, and industry reliably..

This article is short in comparison to the complete breakdown here. It examines the high and low points of addressing the recent PJM capacity auction. It will dramatically impact energy prices starting on June 1st, 2025, about 25 days away. Most importantly, it will explain why this matters for commercial and industrial businesses.

The goal today is to provide clear insights and practical strategies that will help protect the bottom line. Seeking a clear understanding of what is happening in the energy markets and how commercial businesses can defend themselves against the substantial inherent increases. This information is relevant to any company in the PJM grid, from small to industrial to large property developers.

PJM forecasts energy demand and secures power supply resources to guarantee grid reliability. Older generation plants are being retired with the construction of new data centers in Virginia. Supply has slipped significantly, with wind and solar not being able to fill the gap in the needs of new-age electrification. However, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst Public Utility companies and PJM across 13 states.

Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:

PJM capacity rates have gone up 833%. This shocking hike results from quicker power plant retirements, tighter grid reliability mandates, and erratic natural gas costs throughout the PJM footprint. Businesses should expect significantly higher electricity bills in the coming months, particularly if they have not locked in fixed-rate energy contracts ahead of anticipated price hikes.

A spokesperson for theenergyconsultantnj.com, Michael O'Reilly, says, "Of course, the energyconsultantnj.com never sets out to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of our articles is first and foremost to give information to every business that may or may not be aware of the 833% increase coming in June 2025. The outlook for the 2026/2027 auction is looking even more devastating right now.. It is critical, however, that we stay dedicated to our authentic voice.

Although our "PJM Electricity Rates on Peak Capacity to Rise 833% on June 1st, 2025" might unsettle the PJM interconnection, our duty is to our readers. Believing it's more important to explain precisely why this will occur.

This PLC or peak load contribution will set your capacity charges, often resulting in about 20 to 30% of your total supply bill. PJM identifies the five highest one-hour system-wide peaks, typically June through September. This is also known as a capacity tag. Taking a proactive approach to help businesses already struggling, rather than to please everyone. Which is notoriously difficult to do."

Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists, as the article shows, that these prices are set to hit bills starting in June 2025. A good way to think about this is to compare the cost of one megawatt capacity across auctions for the 2024 to 2025 delivery year. The capacity price for most of PJM was $28.92 per megawatt day... For 2025/2026, that same megawatt will cost $269.92. That same megawatt capacity that businesses are currently paying $10,500 for now has a new annual cost of $98,520, an 833% increase.

TheEnergyConsultantNJ.com has been providing in-depth articles on commercial energy consulting for small and large businesses, offering options through the energy choice market since 2021.

Theenergyconsultantnj.com has stated that the future aims for the website articles could see another potential 100% increase from 2025-2026 to 2026-2027.

This comes down to the old adage, which most people know is supply and demand. These factors, with the higher demand, stricter reserves, and lower renewable capacity, have really created a resource inadequacy crisis. So theenergyconsultantnj.com hopes any controversy will pass quickly and re-emphasizes that no offence is or was intended.
