Electricity prices in the PJM grid region are expected to rise through at least 2030 due to increased demand from data center development and delays in bringing renewable energy projects online. Price caps have prevented auction spikes but do not solve underlying supply issues caused by regulatory and permitting challenges.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

Rising electricity costs in the PJM region open opportunities for founders building faster renewable solutions and grid alternatives. You need to engage with permitting reforms now or face a market ready for quicker energy sources.
