Keeping the Lights On: Maryland, PJM, and the Future of Energy

This week on the Conduit Street Podcast, Dominic Butchko sits down with Jason Stanek of PJM Interconnection for a deep dive into Maryland’s evolving energy landscape. From the state’s growing dependence on imported electricity to the backlog of clean energy projects waiting to connect to the grid, Jason breaks down the challenges and opportunities shaping Maryland’s energy future. The conversation explores how PJM keeps the lights on across 13 states and D.C., and what counties need to know about transmission planning and siting. Tune in to learn how local governments fit into this complex puzzle and what reforms are on the horizon to speed up renewable energy deployment and strengthen the grid. Follow us on Socials!
