A Day in the Life of Dispatch

Watch PJM’s story of “A Day in the Life of Dispatch,” showing how the supply and demand of electricity is balanced across the PJM footprint for 65 million people, from the time we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed, and through the night.

I'm very proud and lucky to have been part of this company for almost 35 years. I helped migrate the amazing computer system from analog to digital - from IBM mainframe to distributed network. The men and women working in this control center are my heroes. They come to work every day in all this mess we are having so the rest of us can enjoy the benefits of electric power.

Funny how everybody knows about air traffic controllers but nobody knows about grid dispatchers

I was on the ground-floor of installing & maintaining the Mainframes & Telecommunications systems that these dispatchers use to control the power-grid at HL&P. It was called the Energy Management & Control System (EMACS) in Houston, Tx. Very intense operations & pressures; but we were an awesome-team!

I am grateful that I have access to electricity. The very essence of my life was supplied by electricity (among other things.)
