If your business operates in the PJM Interconnection footprint, the latest capacity auction has real budget implications for you. Rising industrial demand, infrastructure constraints, and extreme weather are putting more pressure on the grid, and those pressures are showing up in capacity costs.

As extreme summer heat continues across the East and Midwest, energy markets are facing record-setting temperatures that can push electricity demand to historical highs.

Vistra had an exciting start to 2026, powered by the talent of our people, the capabilities of our generation portfolio, our commitment to our customers, and our ability to grow strategically.

The latest MISO Planning Resource Auction offers some welcome relief after last year’s unusually high summer result, but it does not eliminate capacity risk for large business customers.

As market conditions evolve, large businesses are balancing cost, reliability, and sustainability in new ways. At our 2026 Energy Summit, we shared PJM/MISO market perspectives and customer solutions designed to help organizations stay informed, flexible, and prepared.

This was the first opportunity in 2025 for PJM’s C&I customers to curtail load to manage peaks for PY 2026/2027 Peak Load Contribution (PLC) planning purposes.

You may start seeing an impact on your energy costs due to an increase in capacity auction rates.
