• After weeks of consideration, the PJM Interconnection Board of Managers has decided to cancel its Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) project running from Virginia to Delaware.

• Richard Klein, founder of Community of Environmental Defense Services (CEDS), expressed concern as to why the 152-mile project was allowed to go so far without addressing the issues that led to its cancelation.
