(Baltimore Sun, August 31, 2024)
Pennsylvania sits at the heart of the 13-state electric grid called PJM.
That means the state’s role in generating power to keep the lights on in neighboring states is crucial. But a report warns that recent government policy choices have weakened the grid, making it more vulnerable to disruptions.
PGH Works Perspective
The Baltimore Sun explores the effect of fossil fuel retirements on the PJM electric grid, warning that supply scarcity is inevitable “unless retirements slow or more energy generation gets built faster.” The publication also interviews PGH Works Director of Research & Public Policy Ken Zapinski about our latest report on the PJM Grid.
