The author emphasizes robust market oversight that can detect anti-competitive behavior, contrasting it with the opacity and political influence of traditional regulated monopolies. The real threat, according to the article, comes from special-interest politics and policy distortions-mandates and subsidies that undermine a neutral competitive platform. The recommended path is to preserve and refine competition through stable rules, quicker interconnections, and letting competition reveal scarcity and reward performance. The author, David Bossie, frames energy competition as the solution rather than the problem.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>America&rsquo;s electricity debate is drifting toward a dangerous simplification: that if prices rise or investment lags, the culprit must be &ldquo;the market,&rdquo; and the cure must be a return to monopoly-style control. Big public utilities want back in the generation game in this new world of AI-fueled load growth, but theirs is a lumbering model that can&rsquo;t move fast enough to meet the need.<\/p>\n<p>Calvin Butler, CEO of the Exelon empire of utility companies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/02\/17\/2026\/exelons-controversial-play-for-affordable-electricity\">alleged<\/a> recently that Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are guilty of intentionally under-investing in new projects so as to &ldquo;capitalize off the market scarcity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a big allegation with little real evidence to support it. This utility&rsquo;s attempt to brand IPPs as enabling &ldquo;cartel behavior&rdquo; collapses under the most basic scrutiny. A <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >cartel requires coordinated output restriction<\/a> or price-setting among suppliers, sustained by the ability to punish defectors and exclude entrants.<\/p>\n<p>The market structure in deregulated markets like PJM, ERCOT, and others are the polar opposite. IPPs like Vistra, Calpine, NRG, and Constellation are not some monolith &ndash; they are in fact fierce competitors. They bid into energy, capacity, and ancillary service markets that explicitly pit one generator against another in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Prices are set through market-clearing mechanisms overseen by regulators, market monitors, and a dense web of compliance rules. PJM&rsquo;s capacity market is intentionally designed as a three-year-forward procurement mechanism, whose goal is to ensure resources are available to meet forecasted demand and to create longer-term price signals for investment.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"anyclipvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadAnyclip() { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst container=document.getElementById(\"anyclipvideo\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!container) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=\"https:\/\/player.anyclip.com\/anyclip-widget\/lre-widget\/prod\/v1\/src\/lre.js\"; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.setAttribute(\"pubname\", \"westernjournalcom\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.setAttribute(\"widgetname\", \"001w000001jULVcAAO_M12924\");  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ append inside the container so player shows in correct spot \t\t\t\t\t\tcontainer.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadAnyclip(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #anyclipvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#anyclipvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>If this is a cartel, it is the ricketiest one ever devised&mdash;one in which participants are compelled to undercut one another daily in order to survive.<\/p>\n<p>PJM, for all its imperfections, remains one of the clearest examples that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reliable-power-during-the-energy-transition-requires-natural-gas\/\" title=\"Reliable Power During The Energy Transition Requires Natural Gas\">competitive power markets<\/a> can procure reliability services transparently, attract capital when rules are stable, and police bad behavior through oversight rather than political muscle.<\/p>\n<p>The notion that its shortcomings justify discarding a competitive framework in favor of a more centralized or monopolistic approach is misguided.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, history tells us the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Monopoly utility structures&mdash;where generation is rate-based and investment risks are borne by captive customers&mdash;have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ERR_EnergyCompetition_F.pdf\">consistently<\/a> led to overbuilding, gold-plating, and a lack of cost discipline. Consumers ultimately pay the price for those inefficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>PJM&rsquo;s structure is far from perfect, but it was built to inject market discipline into a sector long dominated by regulated monopolies. Its competitive model has delivered significant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pjm.com\/-\/media\/DotCom\/about-pjm\/the-value-of-pjm.pdf\">benefits<\/a> over time: lower wholesale prices, improved operational efficiency, and a diverse mix of generation resources.<\/p>\n<p>These outcomes didn&rsquo;t happen by accident and are the result of a system designed to reward performance and penalize inefficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Critics often point to price volatility or occasional reliability concerns as evidence of systemic failure. Volatility is inconvenient, but it is not dysfunction. Price signals are how markets communicate scarcity and incentivize investment. Suppressing those signals in the name of stability risks creating far greater problems down the line, including underinvestment and reliability shortfalls.<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;cartel&rdquo; argument also ignores the role of independent market monitoring within PJM. The market monitor exists specifically to detect and deter anti-competitive behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Bidding patterns are analyzed, anomalies are flagged, and enforcement actions can be taken when necessary. This level of oversight is far more robust than what exists in traditional monopoly utility environments, where investment decisions are often opaque and subject to political influence.<\/p>\n<p>The real threat to PJM&rsquo;s continued success is not market design, but special interest politics. Increasingly, state and federal policies are layering mandates, subsidies, and out-of-market interventions onto what was intended to be a neutral competitive platform. These distortions result in perverse incentives, undermine investor confidence, and create the very inefficiencies critics then cite as evidence of failure.<\/p>\n<p>The path forward should not be to abandon competition, but to restore and refine it. That means predictable, stable market rules, faster interconnection, and letting competition do what it does best: reveal scarcity, reward performance, and punish inefficiency.<\/p>\n<p>PJM remains one of the most sophisticated electricity markets in the world, and it has a track record of delivering value to consumers. Dismantling it in favor of a more centralized model does not solve how we meet rising power demand.<\/p>\n<p>In energy, as in most sectors, competition is not the problem. It is the solution.<\/p>\n<p><em>David Bossie is the president of Citizens United and served as a senior adviser to the Trump-Pence 2020 campaign.

Large public utilities want to re-enter generation in this AI-driven era of growing demand, but their slow-moving model can\u2019t keep up. Exelon CEO Calvin Butler recently claimed that Independent Power Producers (IPPs) deliberately under-invest to profit from scarcity, but there isn\u2019t strong evidence for this. The accusation that IPPs promote cartel behavior falls apart under scrutiny: a cartel requires coordinated output or price-setting and a way to punish defectors, which isn\u2019t what\u2019s happening in deregulated markets like PJM and ERCOT. IPPs such as Vistra, Calpine, NRG, and Constellation compete intensely, bidding into energy, capacity, and ancillary services markets that pit generators against one another in real time, with prices set by market-clearing processes overseen by regulators and market monitors.

The idea that its shortcomings justify abandoning competition for a more centralized or monopolistic approach is misguided; history shows monopoly-style utilities-where generation is rate-based and risks fall on captive customers-tend to overbuild, overcharge, and lack discipline, ultimately harming consumers. PJM\u2019s structure is not perfect, but it injects market discipline into a sector historically dominated by regulated monopolies, and its competitive framework has produced lower wholesale prices, greater operational efficiency, and a diverse generation mix. Critics point to price volatility or occasional reliability issues as proof of systemic failure, but volatility is a feature of price signals that reflect scarcity and incentivize investment; suppressing these signals to chase stability can create larger problems later.
