"The lessons for PJM stakeholders are to trust and enhance the market model. PJM states reliant on cost-of-service utilities, such as West Virginia and Virginia, should consider options to let more consumers shop for power in the competitive marketplace. States that adopted the market model, such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, should listen to PJM’s market monitor, consumers, and independent analysis to remain resolute on the market advantage and dismiss rent-seeking requests from utilities to re-regulate. All states benefit from more efficient market design rules, and resolving artificial barriers to new supply to ensure markets achieve reliability at least cost should be top priority."
