US Grid Operator's Plan: Key Details Absent Amid Calls for Reform
After the Trump administration and a coalition of bipartisan governors called on the biggest U.S. electric grid operator to enact reforms to cut electricity prices, the operator announced its own plan that does not include key details of the bipartisan proposal.
Overview of the PJM Announcement
The grid operator, PJM, which serves states on the East Coast and in the Midwest, said Friday that its new plan outlines some changes but fails to address the specific reforms urged by political leaders. This situation could reflect a cautious approach.
