Steve Sweeney promises to break PJM’s dominance over New Jersey rate payers.

Steve Sweeney, a Democratic candidate for governor in New Jersey, has made a commitment to challenge the practices of PJM Interconnection, LLC, a regional organization responsible for managing wholesale electricity across 13 states, including New Jersey. Sweeney believes that the lawsuit against PJM is vital in protecting the interests of New Jersey residents and addressing concerns about its operational methods and policies.

Sweeney aims to ensure that New Jersey residents have access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy while preventing undue financial strain on consumers and local utility companies. He believes that PJM’s actions have not been in the best interests of its member states and have hindered New Jersey’s ability to reach its renewable energy goals. Sweeney is advocating for a more transparent and competitive energy market that benefits all consumers.

The lawsuit will focus on key issues such as market manipulation, lack of pricing transparency, and the impact of PJM’s operations on New Jersey’s renewable energy targets. Sweeney wants to hold organizations like PJM accountable and ensure that the state’s energy grid operates fairly. He plans to work with all 13 PJM states to advocate for necessary changes within the organization and ensure a fairer marketplace for the future.

Sweeney’s goal is to build a sustainable and equitable energy future that is affordable for families and future generations. By taking legal action against PJM and pushing for reforms, he hopes to create a more competitive energy market that serves the needs and priorities of New Jersey residents. Sweeney is committed to upholding the rights of residents and ensuring that they are not burdened by unfair energy practices.
