Rising Electricity Costs and PJM's Challenges in Meeting Growing Demand The PJM Interconnection, which coordinates the electrical grid across Delaware and other states in the Mid-Atlantic region, is facing growing concerns over its handling of rising electricity costs and the integration of new energy sources. Critics argue that the region's auction system for electricity pricing has led to inflated rates, while the slow process of connecting new power generation projects, such as wind and solar farms, is contributing to grid instability and bottlenecks. As data centers are expected to surge in demand, efforts are underway to address these issues, including improving transparency, streamlining interconnection processes, and prioritizing candidates for PJM's board who champion consumer interests.
