The Trump administration is pushing federal regulators to overhaul PJM Interconnection, the largest US power grid operator serving 13 states, with discussions this week potentially including breakup of the organization. PJM has faced years of complaints from customers, utilities and businesses over its operations and governance.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If FERC splits PJM, you need to understand which assets end up in which region and which utilities become independent buyers. A breakup rewrites the transmission access rules and procurement rules for every power company and energy tech vendor in the 13-state footprint—that's a new market opening.
