When It Comes To Energy Policy, Pennsylvania Needs a Reset
Op-ed by Senator Lisa Boscola
PJM is America’s largest transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity across 13 states, of which Pennsylvania is one. At its most recent wholesale capacity auction the cost of electricity went up 700%. Prices jumped from $29 to $270 per megawatt-day across the region. The size of the increase sent shockwaves across the market and should concern us all because the bottom line is we will all pay more.
