Turning to energy infrastructure, the summer outlook for power grid demand offers cautious optimism. PJM Interconnection, managing the electric grid for 13 Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states plus D.C., projects sufficient capacity to meet peak demands. This is crucial for businesses, ensuring operational continuity and stable energy costs short-term. However, national reliability officials warn of mounting longer-term risks, citing aging infrastructure, increasing electrification without upgrades, and renewable energy intermittency. For businesses, this necessitates strategic planning for energy resilience, potential investments in on-site generation, and active advocacy for grid modernization to mitigate future disruptions and manage escalating expenses.
