1+ week, 5+ day ago   (513+ words) Power and water aren’t the only constraints on new builds. In many markets, fiber access and diversity now determine where facilities can be located and how quickly they can scale. It’s no secret that water and power availability can limit…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (1561+ words) PJM’s first large load process produced 12 proposals and no consensus. Now an accelerated procurement is addressing a 6.8 GW capacity shortfall. PJM’s latest capacity auction left the RTO 6.8 GW below its Reliability Requirement for the 2028/29 delivery year, increasing pressure on the grid…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (1137+ words) The 760 MW Eddystone coal plant will remain online longer as PJM faces rising data center load, generator retirements, and delayed power resources. The Department of Energy (DOE) has ordered PJM Interconnection and Constellation Energy to keep 760 MW of generation at…...

3+ week, 10+ hour ago   (459+ words) Early grid intelligence helps data center developers reduce risk and speed decisions. Power availability has become the primary limiting factor for new U.S. data center development. AI-driven load growth is accelerating faster than grid expansion, resulting in congestion, long interconnection queues,…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago   (1387+ words) The grid operator calls for faster generation and transmission development and greater Large Load visibility, but major questions remain. PJM Interconnection envisions a power system in which data centers drive most new electricity demand, but its five-year strategy begs a…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago   (550+ words) Can data centers stabilize energy grids rather than strain them? Large-load flexibility could be the key to reducing blackouts and costs. At present, data centers are often seen as a risk to the stability of energy grids. But what if…...

4+ week, 5+ hour ago   (631+ words) PJM would let major new loads enter service before equivalent capacity is available, but unsupported demand could face earlier emergency curtailment. PJM defines a “New Large Load” as a large load that enters service or adds incremental demand after June…...
