Ohio’s General Assembly should heed PJM Interconnect on grid reliability in its energy mandate review
Last June, Ohio’s General Assembly passed a bill (SB 310) freezing Ohio’s energy efficiency and renewable portfolio mandates.
The bill required that the General Assembly establish a committee to review the merits of the mandates and whether they should be permanently frozen. The freeze came at an inconvenient time for Ohio: The EPA was about to mandate substantial cuts to Ohio’s carbon emissions resulting from power generation.
