As electricity demand grows, the challenge isn’t just building new generation—it’s ensuring the grid can deliver that power where and when it’s needed. A new op-ed by David Blackmon highlights how competitive power suppliers are responding to market signals. In @PJMInterconnect alone, 800+ projects representing 220+ GW of proposed capacity have applied to connect to the grid. But generation is only part of the equation. The challenge is shifting from securing more power supply to ensuring it is delivered efficiently and affordably. Competitive power markets are attracting investment and bringing forward new supply. Now the focus should be on ensuring the infrastructure is in place to connect and deliver that power to customers.

In @insideclimate, @dangearino explores why states restructured electricity markets: to fix monopoly failures, and deliver lower-cost, reliable power. Now, some utilities want to roll back competition in PJM, but experts warn it would raise bills and shift risk to consumers. 🔗 Read more here: tinyurl.com/47mk6uua #EnergyMarkets #CompetitionWorks #PJM #AffordableEnergy
