PJM, a major power grid operator, is proactively addressing the challenges in predicting increasing electricity demand from large customers like data centers by improving forecasting accuracy and standardizing practices across the region. In response to varying assessment methods among local utilities, PJM has developed a guidance document for assessing large electricity demands and initiated an accelerated process to address resource adequacy challenges, including proposed financial security requirements for customers securing capacity, with expected finalization by the end of the year.
