PJM’s New Deal for Data Centers: Bring Power or Face Cuts
PJM Interconnection has filed a proposal with FERC to create a conditional reliability framework for major new electricity users, including data centers.
- Filed on August 13, the tariff would let New Large Loads begin service before sufficient new capacity is available, with unsupported demand subject to curtailment before pre-emergency load management measures.
- PJM would also create a Large Load Registry, expand BYONC options, and change how unsupported load is treated in RPM starting with the 2029/30 delivery year; PJM requested an Oct. 12, 2026 effective date.
