I just opened my electricity bill from 8/18 to 9/18. Shopping for power saved my home $17 over that time period. My rate has been the same for over a year and I have saved every month. Could not have done it without papowerswitch.com

Is @PJMInterconnect facing a power supply shortage? Let’s look at the numbers. ✅55+ GW of generation has already cleared PJM's interconnection process. ✅ 220+ GW of new projects entered PJM's latest interconnection cycle. ✅ 130+ GW of generation expressed interest in serving large-load customers like data centers. “Power providers are raising their hands to say, ‘We have the sites, we have the technology, and we are ready to build.’” Read @gtpwr's latest opinion piece in @UtilityDive: tinyurl.com/54b9p6mj

My latest thoughts on PJM..with more than enough supply interested in coming online, it's time to focus and what it will take to get it on the grid. In PJM, power developers are ready to build but need data center contracts, transmission utilitydive.com/news/pjm-pow… via @UtilityDive

David Taylor absolutely nails here. Competition is a big reason that PA is the energy leader that it is. Hard to believe that some interests would seek to undo that. Pennsylvania’s Energy Leadership Depends on Competition realclearpennsylvania.com/ar…

There are so many signs out there that we really need to get a grip on load forecasting.......consumers will pay if we don't....perhaps they already are. Georgia Power’s large load pipeline shrinks by 6 GW utilitydive.com/news/georgia… via @UtilityDive
