Where are PJM prices highest right now?
Every PJM pricing node currently reporting a real-time price, ranked from highest to lowest — then open the exact same live view on the map.
What this shows
What this View shows
This is PJM's real-time locational marginal price (LMP) at pricing nodes, from the 5-minute unverified real-time feed — the same feed the interactive map colors nodes with.
Why it matters
PJM spans 13 states and DC, so price separation between pricing nodes often reflects transmission distance and congestion across a genuinely large footprint, not just local conditions. Scanning current nodal prices surfaces where that separation is showing up right now.
PJM real-time LMP — highest-priced pricing nodes
| Settlement point | Real-time LMP | As of |

| BERLIN DPL | $62.85/MWh | 4:10 AM UTC |
| BGE | $61.79/MWh | 4:10 AM UTC |
| HAGERSTOWN - AP | $61.68/MWh | 4:10 AM UTC |
| EASTON | $61.61/MWh | 4:10 AM UTC |

What people ask
Is this the day-ahead or real-time price?+
Real-time. This View shows PJM's 5-minute unverified real-time LMP, not the day-ahead market clearing price.
What does the pricing node ID mean?+
PJM prices individual pricing nodes across its 13-state-plus-DC footprint — generation, load, aggregate, and hub points. This table lists live-priced nodes exactly as PJM publishes them.
Does a high price mean congestion?+
Not on its own. A high price can reflect system-wide scarcity, local congestion, or both. Compare nearby pricing nodes and check demand, generation, and outage context before concluding congestion specifically drove one node's price.
Does “Open in Map” restore this exact view?+
Yes. It carries the same layers, filters, viewport, and timeline state shown on this page into the live PJM workspace — the same save/restore system behind a personal saved view.
