New Jersey Regulators Find All Four Electric Utilities' PJM Voting Reports Incomplete
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) released a summary report in Trenton on October 14 finding that all four New Jersey electric utilities submitted incomplete and deficient reports on their voting history at PJM, the regional grid operator, even after staff guidance and revisions. PJM's decisions shape electricity market pricing and transmission development, with implications for ratepayers' costs and reliability.
The report identified remaining gaps including omitted votes, missing records from lower-level committees, and inadequate explanations of whether votes furthered New Jersey's energy goals. All four utilities filed their initial reports by the February 1 deadline, and all had the same three types of problems.
NJBPU President Ben Hertz-Shargel said customers deserve a complete record of the positions their utilities take at PJM. The findings follow the October 8 Governors' Summit on the State of PJM in Chicago, where governors, including New Jersey's, formalized the PJM Governors' Collaborative to strengthen state representation in PJM governance.
