Pennsylvania Threatens to Go ‘Own Way’ If Grid Won’t Change

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said his state would leave America’s biggest power grid if its operator won’t make changes to rein in surging energy bills.

“If PJM is not willing to look in the mirror and really reform itself, then I’m willing to go my own way and Pennsylvania can stand alone in this effort,” Shapiro said Monday on Bloomberg Television, referring to grid operator PJM Interconnection LLC. “We can produce enough energy for us, and we can produce enough energy at a far quicker rate than PJM is able to right now.”
