The PJM Power Providers Group or The P3 Group is an informal coalition of energy providers who believe properly designed and well-functioning competitive wholesale electricity markets are the most effective means of ensuring a reliable supply of power to the PJM region, facilitating investments in alternative energy and demand response technology; and promoting prices that will allow consumers to enjoy the benefits of competitive electricity markets.

Members of the PJM Power Providers Group include: Allegheny Energy, Constellation Energy Group, Edison Mission Group, Exelon, FirstEnergy Solutions, Mirant, NRG Energy, PPL, and PSEG.
"With the continued evolution of PJM and the increased focus on energy issues at the state, regional and federal levels, the time was right to give power providers in the region a collective voice on the issues of the day," said Glen Thomas, spokesman for the PJM Power Providers Group. "The P3 Group gives members an unprecedented opportunity to promote a vision of competitive wholesale markets that will ultimately benefit the 14-state PJM region."
