Black History Month is a time to remember, celebrate and commemorate the achievements and contributions by African-American men and women throughout U.S. history.
1/29/2025 - Gov. Josh Shapiro said Wednesday Pennsylvanians will not have to absorb the state electric grid operator’s proposed rate hikes in coming years, thanks to a federal complaint he and other governors filed in December.
“If we had done nothing here … you would have seen historically high utility bills jacked up 30%,” Shapiro told reporters Wednesday morning.
PJM Interconnection, the company which manages the electricity grid in 13 states, had proposed a new rate structure that Shapiro said would cost electric consumers $21 billion through 2028 — or a few hundred dollars more per household each year.
But on Dec. 30, Shapiro and governors of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Illinois announced they had sued the operator. Weeks later, PJM agreed to a price cap and other changes, pending a federal regulatory committee’s review.
