RICHMOND, VA & TRENTON, NJ: “MAREC Action offers our congratulations to Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey. Our member companies in the grid-scale solar, wind and storage industry of the Mid-Atlantic states stand ready to deliver on your goals of energy affordability, economic growth, and a healthy environment.
Stabilizing electricity rates in PJM will be no easy task. Your campaign pledges each signal an approach to implement pragmatic reforms, and that will help our industries invest in New Jersey and Virginia.
Strengthening clean energy policies, enhancing predictability for project developers, and investing in transmission modernization will deliver the price-stable renewable energy generation and storage infrastructure best able to shield consumers from energy price spikes.
The rising price of electricity is a collective problem faced by all PJM states. We believe you will find common cause, with each other and with governors from both parties across PJM, in tackling this challenge.” Evan Vaughan, Executive Director, MAREC Action
