Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study West Virginia’s participation and affiliation with PJM Interconnection LLC which serves West Virginia as a Regional Transmission Authority, coordinating the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia.

HCR 103 is a concurrent resolution requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study West Virginia's participation in PJM Interconnection LLC, the regional electricity grid operator serving 13 states and D.C. The study will assess whether West Virginia ratepayers and utilities are well-served by PJM's management of wholesale electricity markets, including how investments in local power generation are valued and whether alternative regional options exist. It specifically examines PJM's impact on rising electricity rates, governance representation for West Virginia, and feasibility of forming a state-specific grid organization like Texas. The committee must report findings and recommendations to the 2026 legislature. This resolution does not change laws but directs a policy review affecting all West Virginia electricity consumers and utilities.
