Weather has been good today in the region - low heating and cooling load, and it's a weekend; demand is comfortably low (currently about 72.5GW with a forecasted peak of 77, vs an actual peak of 85GW yesterday). Should keep things pretty boring across PJM.
It's a good thing this didn't happen in July/August.
(For folks around here, the pjm now app is a nice way to grab current power demand/tie flows/alerts)
PJM ended the GMD action at 05.11.2024 12:00 EDT. The PJM manual says that GMD actions are ended after three hours with no problems.
There were no additional actions required to deal with the problem. They'd show in that list as "Conservative operations", "Pre-emergency load management reduction action", "Curtailment of non-essential building load", or even "Emergency load dump action".
K-index is at 8.67 right now, down from 9. (9 is currently the maximum reportable K value.)
