Managing the Fuel Mix Transition

This presentation by Denise Foster examines the ongoing transition of the fuel mix within the PJM region, highlighting significant statistics such as the retirement of 21,000 MW of coal capacity since 2009 and the evolution toward a more gas-dependent and renewable-driven energy landscape. It discusses the characteristics of PJM's generation capacity, including the rise of natural gas and renewables—wind and solar—while addressing reliability issues and the need for market coordination between gas and electric sectors to ensure a stable and efficient power system.
