The PJM power market lags behind other US markets in renewable and battery storage buildout due to systemic delays and discouraging rules, resulting in a higher reliance on gas and coal generation through 2027 despite national trends favouring renewables.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your grids outside Texas and most US regions will face delays shifting to renewables because PJM’s market rules slow down solar and battery projects. You can find a ready market or partner in regions where clean power is advancing faster and prices reflect that shift.
