The Energy Consultant NJ has developed a business survival strategy to help commercial and industrial operations counter the effects of the 833% surge in PJM capacity rates that took effect on June 1, 2025. The 3-phase program, called the MIS Method, helps businesses control rising energy expenses across the PJM Interconnection region, which serves parts of 13 states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
More information is available at https://theenergyconsultantnj.com/.
The MIS Method combines analysis tools, strategic sourcing, and market monitoring to manage costs during a period of extreme price volatility. The first phase analyzes energy consumption and peak demand to identify ways to cut costs without disrupting productivity. The second phase examines factors like aging equipment, peak-hour surcharges, and contract inefficiencies, and the final strategy phase helps companies choose fixed-rate contracts, participate in demand response programs, or adopt on-site generation and off-peak scheduling.
PJM capacity auction results show rates jumped from about $29 to nearly $270 per megawatt-day for the 2025-2026 delivery year. The surge is linked to accelerated power plant retirements with 6,600 megawatts expected offline by 2026, stricter grid reliability standards, and supply constraints. Businesses using 20 million kilowatt-hours annually could pay an extra $240,000 to $360,000 per year once new rates begin.
Company representative Mike O’Reilly describes their system as “Market Intelligence Solutions designed to put businesses back in control of their energy costs during unprecedented market conditions.”
A Peak Notification Program also alerts businesses before PJM peak pricing events, allowing them to adjust air conditioning, reduce production, or shift operations. These simple actions can lower costs during critical pricing windows.
Operating within the deregulated PJM market, the MIS Method lets businesses compare quotes from 4 to 5 competing suppliers after uploading their bills through a secure portal.
