Energy Filing Nov 3, 2026

FERC opens show cause proceeding for PJM and its transmission owners on large load interconnection, including AI data centers

Following the U.S. Secretary of Energy's October 23, 2025 directive, FERC established the proceeding on June 18, 2026 so transmission owners can submit tariff revisions for interconnecting large loads. PJM plans a compliance filing in mid-November 2026, and the matter is in abeyance pending that filing.
