A Hot Weather Alert is a routine procedure PJM issues ahead of forecasted hot weather and/or high humidity to prepare transmission and generation personnel and facilities for expected increases in electricity demand, or load.
This procedure does not require any action from customers.
Temperatures are expected to approach 90 degrees in these regions, which is atypical for mid-April.
The Mid-Atlantic Region is made up of the following transmission zones in Pennsylvania: Met-Ed, Penelec, PECO Electric and PPL Electric.

The PJM Interconnection coordinates the wholesale electricity grid and markets for all or parts of 13 states—Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia—plus the District of Columbia.
