The Cost of No New Clean Power in PJM

ACP analyzed the PJM system under two scenarios—one with all resources available and another with no new clean energy projects beyond those already underway or mandated. Without new clean energy development,  the average residential household would see $3,000 to $8,500 in additional electricity costs over the next decade.

Solar and wind power has grown faster than electricity demand this year, report says

In the News

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new analysis.

[IMG: AI composition of an aerial drone photograph of a modern data center complex with adjacent solar farm in rural Virginia, shot during golden hour with warm natural lighting. The data center features plain industrial architecture with large rectangular buildings, minimal windows, and basic security fencing - focusing on the simple, utilitarian design typical of actual facilities. A 100-200 MW solar photovoltaic installation is positioned nearby, showing organized rows of solar panels extending across gently rolling Virginia countryside. The composition shows the data center as the main focal point from a 45-degree angle at approximately 500 feet altitude, captured with a wide-angle lens. Rolling hills with mixed deciduous trees, farmland, and rural Virginia landscape. Well-maintained access roads and proper setbacks between facilities. Keep transmission infrastructure minimal and simple. Photo-realistic quality with vibrant but natural golden hour colors, sharp details, and professional lighting.

Who We Are

Our Story
ACP is the premier association representing the American clean power industry. With unrivaled scale, resources, and political reach, ACP works to set the agenda, influence policy, and shape the future of American energy.
In 2021, a small group of clean energy industry leaders came together because they saw a need that wasn’t being met in the trade association space. Today, ACP represents over 85% of utility scale clean energy deployments across the entire ecosystem: from planning, building, and putting electrons on the grid.
