Pennsylvania Residents Should Focus On Increasing Energy Supply To Address Rising Electricity Bills
Rising electricity bills in Pennsylvania are attributed to a fundamental imbalance in energy supply, rather than PJM's actions as Governor Shapiro has suggested, despite its critical role as a regional transmission organization. As PJM relies on managing the flow of electricity like an air traffic controller, the region's shift towards intermittent renewable sources such as wind and solar has reduced dispatchable generation capacity, leading to a predictable outcome: reduced supply, increased demand, and higher prices - a direct result of policymakers' decisions that have prioritized these energy sources without adequate replacements.
