AWEA statement on FERC order rejecting PJM reforms

The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) issued the following statement reacting to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) order rejecting two proposals for reforms to PJM, the Mid-Atlantic grid operator.

“We see pathways to a positive outcome from FERC’s 3-2 decision, but we will be weighing in heavily with the commissioners and PJM regarding our concerns. We want to ensure there continues to be a platform for states to shape the fuel mix within their borders as intended by Congress under the Federal Power Act.” – Amy Farrell, Senior Vice President, Government and Public Affairs, American Wind Energy Association.
