State Rep. Roy Klopfenstein (R-Haviland) met with members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and PJM Interconnect to discuss energy policies and partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klopfenstein met with members of the Pennsylvania House and Senate to talk about future energy partnerships, the importance of grid reliability, and future energy policy changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI appreciate members of the Pennsylvania Legislature taking the time to discuss energy policies that will help consumers in both of our states,\u201d said Klopfenstein. \u201cWorking together to create good energy policy will strengthen our grid reliability and future energy endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klopfenstein also met with PJM Interconnect CEO Manu Asthana to discuss a letter sent to the company expressing concerns about the effect Illinois\u2019 Climate and Equitable Job Act (CEJA) will have on Ohio consumers. The Illinois CEJA mandates the closure of fossil fuel-fired electrical generation unit facilities. To offset the closures, PJM has identified upgrades to the transmission system, located mostly in Ohio, and will cost an estimated $2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe changes in Illinois remind us that we need to make sure Ohioans will not be affected financially from energy policies put forth in other states,\u201d said Klopfenstein. \u201cPJM needs to find solutions to make sure our energy supply isn\u2019t strained.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PJM has yet to give a response to the letter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
