A severe energy shortage is expected in the eastern United States on Monday due to extremely high power demand amid heat. The PJM Interconnection, which serves nearly 20% of Americans, has issued an emergency alert as electricity prices are forecasted to reach a record peak. The system’s grid operator warned that it may not be able to generate enough power to meet the expected 160-gigawatt demand on June 23, surpassing its highest recorded peak since 2011.
