About Us

Business Coaching

The PJM Power Providers Group (P3) is a non-profit organization that supports the development of properly designed and well-functioning markets in the PJM region. PJM is a regional transmission organization that manages the supply and movement of power in 13 states and the District of Columbia.

Our Policy Priorities

P3 members believe that properly designed and well-functioning competitive wholesale electricity markets are the most effective means of:

Ensuring a reliable supply of power to the PJM region

Facilitating the investment of at-risk capital in both new and existing technologies to deliver competitively priced power to consumers

Complementing state and federal environmental objectives

Advancing Competitive Market Principles

The P3 Group promotes policies at the federal and state levels that will allow the PJM region to fulfill the promise of competitive markets. P3 supports:

  • Transparent price signals to and from consumers so that they may be the ultimate drivers of the competitive market.
  • Effective and independent market monitoring coupled with well-defined rules to identify and prevent market power abuse or gaming and to promote confidence among state regulators and market participants.
  • Policies that support effective pricing mechanisms, which would allow generation, transmission and demand response to compete on equal footing.
  • Capacity markets as a tool to encourage long-term capital investments in existing and new generation resources.
  • Stable, technology-neutral, state and regional retail policies, such as default procurement auctions, that leverage the benefits of wholesale competition.
  • The development and promotion of renewable and alternative energy generation within the framework of a competitive market.
  • Non-discriminatory, technology-neutral, economy-wide strategies to achieve state carbon reduction objectives
