Glen Thomas: Pennsylvania’s energy success story is worth protecting, not reversing | Broad + Liberty | March 24, 2026
Glen Thomas, president of the PJM Power Providers Group, underscores the long-term benefits Pennsylvania has seen from competitive electricity markets—and the risks of proposals that would shift back toward utility-owned generation.
Power Quote: “If the goal is to bring more power online, the solution is to strengthen competition, not abandon it.”
Competitive markets have delivered lower costs, innovation, and private investment by shifting financial risk away from consumers and onto investors—an approach that should be strengthened, not reversed.
Key Takeaway: Pennsylvania’s experience reflects a broader national trend: well-designed competitive wholesale markets create strong price signals that attract new generation and support reliability. Policies that reintroduce monopoly-style, rate-based generation risk increasing costs and weakening those signals at a time when demand is rising and investment is needed most.
