Governors from both Republican and Democratic parties in the Eastern United States are set to convene with leadership at the PJM grid management organization, which oversees the power grid for 13 states and the District of Columbia. The meeting is part of a broader effort by a bipartisan group of governors to address rising electricity costs, which have become a significant point of contention in the region. The governors are reportedly seeking to challenge PJM’s management practices, arguing that the nonprofit’s operations have contributed to the escalating energy prices.
The PJM grid, which serves over 67 million people, has faced increasing scrutiny from state officials who believe that its management strategies have not effectively addressed the growing demand for energy and the rising costs associated with it. As electricity prices continue to climb, the governors’ demand for accountability has intensified, with calls for more transparency and reforms in how the power grid is managed. The outcome of this meeting could have significant implications for the future of energy policy in the region.
