(Reuters) - Largest ​U.S. power grid operator PJM said ‌on Friday it was under a federal alert to cut electricity consumption across its ​territory as it battled generator outages, ​massive overloading on its transmission lines ⁠and a surge in air conditioning ​use from prolonged sweltering heat.
PJM said it ​told utilities to reduce electricity to customers who are under contract to reduce consumption during ​emergencies. PJM serves 67 million people ​in the Mid-Atlantic, South and Washington, D.C., area.
