Energy curtailment order issued Location Multiple Buildings The curtailment order is still in effect. Demand on the PJM grid has continued to remain high. The order may continue until as late as 10PM. Drexel University participates in PJM’s energy curtailment program, which helps maintain grid stability during periods of high demand. We were just notified of a curtailment event. Drexel must reduce electrical usage for a few hours this evening. This will be accomplished primarily by temporarily shutting down select HVAC and chiller equipment. This may cause slightly higher temperatures in some occupied areas for a short time. Lab spaces will not be affected. Locations affected are: 1. Urban, 2. Urban Annex 3. REC Gym 4. Korman (with exception to IT/Server areas) 5. Creese 6. Stratton 7. Nesbitt 8. Haggerty 9. GSB 10.
