Wilmington, DE – Today, Governor Markell issued the following statement following announcement of the PJM Interconnection Board’s decision to suspend further action or construction of the Artificial Island project pending a comprehensive review:
“I want to commend the PJM board for its decision to suspend further action on the Artificial Island project pending further review. This decision is one that the State of Delaware welcomes. The project as it was proposed would have placed an unjust burden on the state, resulting in higher electric rates for our consumers and businesses. I hope that upon further review, a more equitable solution can be identified.”
