PJM Demand is DOWN!

November 15th, 2012

But we knew that…

PJM State of the Market Report 3Q 2012

Here’s the part I’m most interested, demand is DOWN, from the intro, summarizing p. 23 of the report linked above:

The PJM system peak load for the first nine months of 2012 was 154,344
MW, which was 3,672 MW, or 2.3 percent, lower than the PJM peak
load for the first nine months of 2011.  The DEOK Transmission Zone
accounted for 5,360 MW in the peak hour of the first nine months of
2012. The peak load in 2012 excluding the DEOK Transmission Zone was
148,984 MW, a decrease of 9,032 MW, or 5.7 percent, from the peak load
for the first nine months 2011. (See page 23)

2.3%, 5.7%, DUH!  Demand is DOWN!  Here’s the specifics:
