What is PJM and why is everyone so mad about it?
Clara Summers, a consumer advocate leading the Citizens Utility Board’s Consumers for a Better Grid campaign, explains PJM's governance and why rising data-center demand and a clogged interconnection queue are driving prices and political heat. Conversations cover capacity markets, double-counting in load forecasts, state guardrails like large-load tariffs, curtailable connections, faster battery solutions, and paths to allocate costs fairly.
