New Modeling: Unclogging PJM’s interconnection queue could save customers $505 per year on energy bills, cut 825 million in carbon pollution

PJM controls the grid for 65M Americans across 13 states. A broken approval process has delayed cheaper (and mostly clean) energy projects from being built.

Continued mismanagement by PJM will drive up electricity bills by nearly 60% by 2040. However, if PJM makes a handful of straightforward reforms, households could save an average of $505 per year on energy costs, 825 million tons of carbon pollution could be cut from the air, and 313,000 jobs would be created per year until 2040.
