WASHINGTON, DC – The proposal today from the White House acknowledges that energy demand is forecast to grow much faster than the grid operator PJM Interconnection is currently able to bring on new generating resources. Advanced Energy United, the industry association representing many of the leading solar, wind, storage, demand, and distributed energy companies, supports market solutions that give the companies in these sectors equal opportunity to compete to provide the power that the PJM region needs. It’s yet to be seen if the proposal would create a fair and competitive market-based solution that adequately protects customers, and it leaves unaddressed many of the underlying factors driving up energy costs.
