Pre-filed Statement of Pamela Quinlan, Principal at GQS New Energy Strategies, for the PJM Governance and Stakeholder Reforms Technical Conference under AD26-7.

Summary: Pamela Quinlan, a consultant and former FERC official, argues that PJM's governance reform should focus on strengthening the regional compact and empowering the Board to exercise independent leadership rather than just redistributing stakeholder influence. She emphasizes the need for a more strategic partnership with states and a better alignment of responsibility for resource adequacy with the actual infrastructure requirements.
