But despite strong “build” signals from high prices, critical barriers are blocking projects from moving forward. Prices have once again increased in PJM , going up for most customers from $269.92/MW-day during the previous auction to $329.17/MW-day today, even though consumers were protected from an even more significant increase by the newly implemented price cap.

"This bill will hit Americans hard, terminating credits that have helped families lower their energy and transportation costs, shrinking demand for American-made advanced energy technologies, and squeezing new domestic energy production at a time of rising demand and prices. While Senators have addressed some of the worst provisions from earlier versions – including the ill-conceived excise tax – a number of punitive measures remain.
