Winter Storm Fern jolts U.S. power prices above $1,800 as PJM outages jump

Power plant outages spiked across the eastern U.S. Sunday, sending wholesale electricity prices soaring. PJM Interconnection responded by directing certain customers to reduce consumption as Winter Storm Fern boosted demand and tightened fuel availability. Price swings matter here because they strike utilities just as demand from homes and businesses peaks. Grid operators face the coldest part of the week with tighter margins for mistakes. In natural gas-reliant areas, pipeline bottlenecks and equipment failures can quickly turn a cold snap into a supply crunch.

    July 1, 2026, 2:31 AM EDT. Japan logged nearly $74 billion in currency intervention as the yen sank to a 40-year low against the dollar.
