Delivering Value
From its beginnings, PJM has served to consolidate and share resources for the critical mission of reliability of the bulk electric system. That was the goal of our founding 93 years ago as the first power pool to share resources for systems under stress.
In 2020, PJM remained focused on its core mission – ensure the safety, reliability and security of the bulk electric system; create and operate fair, efficient wholesale markets; and provide practical infrastructure planning to our stakeholders and customers, while also helping states achieve their individual and regional policy objectives.
With a historic peak load of about 160,000 megawatts (MW), our members power about one fifth of the U.S. economy. At that scale, PJM delivers phenomenal value.

Regional synergies provided by PJM’s combined planning, operations and market services save consumers between $3.2 billion and $4 billion annually.
In 2020, PJM moved forward together with its members and stakeholders as we collectively anticipated and met the needs of our rapidly changing energy landscape. Beyond these fundamentals, PJM delivers value through an effective, innovative workforce and an inclusive, efficient stakeholder process aimed at the ever-evolving requirements posed by the grid of the future.
