Will 2026 electric price hikes in PJM states beat other states by four points or more, while Texas rises less than the US?
20 people · 20 claims3 sides3 machines
a side

The load pays its way

Expects no: costs land on whoever triggers them, so PJM households are not stuck covering grid build-out that isn't theirs.

If yes

The bill no state can shield

Expects yes: wholesale scarcity pricing hits every PJM bill directly and no state tariff can block it from showing up.

5 people · 5 claims2 sides2 machines
If no

Gas supply tightness, not non-gas buildout, caps gas's share

No: tightening gas supply from shale depletion and LNG exports could cap gas generation growth, letting wind, solar and nuclear close the gap.

If yes

Gas is the bridge fuel for AI load

Yes: gas is the fastest fuel to build for AI data center demand, so gas burn and prices climb as load grows.
