flag Governors from 13 states served by PJM Interconnection are forming a collaborative to gain more influence over the nation’s largest power grid, driven by soaring electricity prices linked to AI data center demand. flag Rising capacity auction prices—up 22% in one year—have led to projected bill increases of up to 5%, with critics blaming over-purchasing of surplus power and grid strain. flag States, currently excluded from governance, seek reforms to improve transparency, accelerate new energy connections, and ensure fairer cost distribution, modeling changes after other regional grids. flag The initiative, launching in Philadelphia, aims to address growing affordability concerns amid political pressure over high energy costs.
