PJM is lagging in renewable and battery storage deployment compared to ERCOT, leading to continued reliance on coal and gas with higher electricity costs. ERCOT's rapid growth in wind, solar, and battery storage has enabled it to better manage peak demand and control prices.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a widening gap if you operate in PJM versus ERCOT on renewables and storage. ERCOT's growth shows battery and solar are now core to managing peak demand and cost, and PJM’s delays will expose you to higher costs and fossil fuel dependence.
