PJM Unveils 2026 Roadmap to Safely Add Big Loads Without Hurting Reliability
TL;DR Summary
PJM’s Board outlined a 2026 package of proposals to integrate large-load customers (including data centers) while preserving reliability and affordability. The plan includes load-forecast improvements, options for loads to own a generation or participate in a connect-and-manage framework, an accelerated interconnection track for state-backed projects, a backstop generation procurement process, and a market-review to guide investments. Several actions would be filed with FERC and implemented with ongoing stakeholder input as the region’s supply-demand balance evolves.
