Power companies shake up PJM, remove board chair

Some PJM critics said no such privilege existed. 

“There’s been a lot of frustration with PJM’s behind-the-scenes deal-making,” said Kent Chandler, former chair of the Kentucky Public Service Commission who also had also led the Organization of PJM States, a sounding board for state interests in the regional grid. 

“The vote this week was an expression of that frustration,” Chandler added. 

“There’s an expectation that PJM can be all things to all people,” Chandler said in an earlier interview. Now, he added, “members of PJM are unhappy with how we got here. There is concern, how did management and the board let this happen? It wasn’t as if things just snuck up on us.”
