Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is urging changes to the PJM Interconnection, the regional power grid operator, in an effort to alleviate the state's escalating energy costs. The rising demand from data centers and artificial intelligence is a significant contributor to these increasing bills, with Shapiro arguing that current pricing structures place an undue financial strain on residents and businesses. By increasing Pennsylvania's influence within PJM's operations and pricing decisions, Shapiro hopes to bring about lower energy bills for the state's citizens.
