Chicago Tribune: Letters – PJM’s Slow Response Has Exacerbated the Energy Supply Crunch in Illinois

In a letter to the editor for the Chicago Tribune, United’s Samarth Medakkar discusses how PJM’s failure to adequately plan for rising electricity demand has contributed to Illinois’ energy supply crunch and rising costs. He also highlights efforts from state policymakers to address the shortfall and lower energy bills through the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA), which includes investments in battery storage, a virtual power plant program, and other advanced energy technologies.
