PJM anticipates no reliability issues and minimal impacts to solar generation in its region, spanning 13 states and Washington, D.C., during the solar eclipse on October 14.

The eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth and will be most visible on the morning of Oct. 14 in the western U.S., following a southeasterly path from Northern California through Texas. During the event, a partial solar eclipse will affect the skies over every state in the U.S. except Alaska, according to NASA.
