Gov Shapiro : Pennsylvania Leaving Regional Electricity Grid Still on the Table

Governor Josh Shapiro warned that Pennsylvania could begin the process of withdrawing from PJM Interconnection, the organization that manages the regional electricity grid for 13 states, if meaningful reforms are not implemented within months. Shapiro cited surging energy bills and the need for grid operator changes to protect consumers from rising costs driven partly by data center expansion. As the largest energy producer in the PJM system, Pennsylvania's potential exit would have massive implications for regional electrical infrastructure and construction projects throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
