Please let us know if you have feedbackRepublican and Democratic governors of PJM Interconnection states on Monday threatened to pull out of the grid operator’s markets unless states are given a role in governing the organization.
Unlike in grid organizations such as the Southwest Power Pool and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, states in PJM lack a formal role in PJM governance.
Eleven PJM states plan to form a “governors’ collaborative” to work on PJM issues, Jacob Finkel, a Shapiro aide, said at the meeting.
Also, meeting the demands of the fast-changing energy landscape “will require PJM, the industry and especially our states all working in concert,” the grid operator said.
Giving states a bigger role at PJM will lead to “red tape, gridlock, and a stifling of critically needed investment,” Snitchler said.
