Exelon Confirms PJM Footprint Amid Strategy Shift
What happened
Exelon confirmed its operational footprint across multiple states within the PJM Interconnection. The company, which separated from Constellation Energy in February 2022, is now expanding its transmission business and seeking a greater role in power generation. This strategic shift is being prompted by rising data center demand, tightening generation reserves, and shortcomings in PJM’s wholesale markets.
