The largest competitive wholesale electricity market in North America. Full retail choice in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, DC, and Illinois.
PJM's 2028/2029 Base Residual Auction cleared 138,317.8 MW UCAP at the $325/MW-day cap. Including Fixed Resource Requirement commitments, total capacity remained 6,831.3 MW below the reliability requirement—the second consecutive material reserve shortfall.
What this means for commercial customers: The auction is a wholesale benchmark, not a delivered-rate quote. Review capacity pass-through language, Peak Load Contribution, tariff treatment, and demand-response fit before translating the result into account-level exposure.
