PA Governor Shapiro blames grid operator PJM for rising electricity costs, citing flawed auction rules.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro warns that residents may face higher electricity bills due to what he calls a "broken process" by the state's grid operator, PJM Interconnection. This summer, PJM saw energy prices for utilities rise sharply, potentially increasing monthly bills by $15 and more in the future. Shapiro argues that PJM could fix this by changing its auction rules. PJM, however, claims the high prices stem from increased demand and the closure of power generators.
