The official press-release archive shows recent Mfume statements on June 15, June 12, June 11, and June 10, 2026, plus a June 4 letter-related release, but none mention PJM Interconnection, grid interconnection, or clean-power connection efforts.

No new PJM-specific public action appears in the lookback window on Mfume's official site; the issue remains publicly unresolved in this refresh period.

Mfume met with Maryland energy officials and PJM Interconnection to discuss lowering electricity costs and strengthening grid reliability, and said PJM "must move swiftly to connect clean, affordable power sources to the grid."

Direct official advocacy toward the promise, showing concrete effort to pressure PJM to accelerate interconnection of clean power.

The official release says Congressman Mfume and Maryland delegation members met with PJM Interconnection and state energy officials, and Mfume said PJM Interconnection must move swiftly to connect clean, affordable power sources to the grid to help lower expensive utility rates.

This is direct official evidence that Mfume used his federal office to press PJM on the exact promised action: moving quickly to connect clean, affordable power to the grid.

Mfume's official press-release archive lists later releases through June 15, 2026, including USPS, ICE, intelligence, Iran, reconciliation, voting, bridge, port, and other items; the visible archive entries after the March 12 PJM meeting do not show another PJM-specific clean-power interconnection action.

The archive supports that the March 12, 2026 action remains the clearest official public fulfillment evidence found for this promise as of July 2, 2026.

PJM states that FERC conditionally approved PJM's interconnection process reform filing, designed to more efficiently and timely process new service requests by moving from a serial first-come, first-served queue to a first-ready, first-served cycle approach.

This official PJM page confirms that PJM controls the interconnection process at issue and that timeliness of new service requests is a live policy area, but it does not by itself prove Mfume caused PJM to complete connections.

The promise was to push PJM to act, not necessarily to secure completed grid interconnections. The official evidence shows Mfume, while serving in federal office, met with PJM Interconnection and Maryland energy officials and publicly pressed PJM to move swiftly to connect clean, affordable power sources to the grid. That directly satisfies the advocacy/action promised. There is no evidence that PJM completed the broader interconnection outcome because of him, but the wording centers on pushing PJM, so the documented same-term pressure is enough for delivery.

The promise was to pressure PJM to act faster, not to unilaterally deliver the interconnection outcome itself. Evidence shows Mfume, while serving in federal office, met with Maryland energy officials and PJM Interconnection and publicly pressed PJM to 'move swiftly to connect clean, affordable power sources to the grid.' That constitutes a material official push on the exact issue promised. There is no evidence here that PJM actually completed the broader grid-connection outcome, but the candidate-facing promise was advocacy and pressure, which he did carry out during the same term.

Available evidence shows Mfume publicly advocated this promise in office by meeting with Maryland energy officials and PJM Interconnection and pressing PJM to move faster on connecting clean, affordable power sources to the grid. That demonstrates meaningful effort toward the promise in the same term. However, the record provided does not show that PJM actually changed its interconnection pace or that the promised outcome was achieved as a result of Mfume's actions. Because there is evidence of active push but not of completed delivery, partial credit is the best fit.
