Dive Brief:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commissioner Judy Chang offered an alternative perspective to Chairman Laura Swett’s recent comment that the PJM Interconnection is “too big to function,” telling Utility Dive, "I am not thinking about it breaking up, so I'm definitely not thinking about what it would look like or what kind of options there are to break up.”
“When the market was working, people were not saying it's too big to work, right?” Chang said in an interview. “When people think prices are too high, then folks are uneasy and want change … I think of it as, okay, if the market was not designed to meet this particular moment, then what does the market need to evolve into for the future?”
Chang sat down with Utility Dive following her keynote address at the Smart Electric Power Alliance’s Energy Evolution Summit on May 19, where she discussed the challenges and opportunities of rising demand from large load data centers.
