PJM energy customers pay annual capacity charges based on their consumption during just 5 hours each summer. Coincident Peak Watch delivers a 7-day AI forecast every morning at 6:00 AM EST so you can act before it costs you.
PJM Interconnection operates the electrical grid for 13 states in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Each summer, PJM identifies the 5 hours of highest total grid demand - these are the 5 Coincident Peaks.
Your annual capacity charge - a significant portion of your electricity bill - is calculated based on how much power you consumed during those 5 specific hours. A large energy user who reduces load on Coincident Peak days can save tens of thousands of dollars per year.
The challenge: Coincident Peak days are only confirmed after summer ends. You must predict them in real time. That is exactly what Coincident Peak Watch does.
Peak window: 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST. Curtail load during Critical alert days.
A fully automated pipeline that runs every morning and delivers actionable intelligence to your inbox.
Every morning the system fetches 7-day forecasts from National Weather Service stations covering the PJM region.
A proprietary AI and machine learning model trained on 11+ years of PJM load and weather data scores each day for Coincident Peak probability using dozens of engineered temperature, humidity, and grid demand features.
Each day is classified as Critical, High, Medium, or Low risk. Critical days trigger immediate curtailment recommendations for the 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST window.
A professional email report lands in your inbox by 6:00 AM EST every morning during Coincident Peak season - giving you a full day to prepare before the peak window opens.
