Governor Josh Shapiro filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission against PJM Interconnection, accusing the group of flaws in its capacity auction system that could lead to over $20 billion in unnecessary energy costs for Pennsylvania.
State Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman responded, blaming the ongoing debate over the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) for higher electricity costs. He criticized Shapiro for appealing a court ruling against RGGI and urged him to drop the lawsuit, claiming the program would add $500 million annually to electricity bills. Pittman pledged renewed Senate efforts to address rising energy costs.
