(The Center Square) — 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.
A potential power shortage could hit by 2030 if more problems mount.
PGH Works Perspective
The Center Square cites our newest report “The PJM Grid in Peril” in an article exploring the potential for serious electricity shortages in Pennsylvania by 2030. The publication also quotes Ken Zapinski, PGH Works Director of Research & Public Policy, on the challenges our state faces in keeping up with increased demand and the shortsighted government policies endangering our grid.
