‘Consequential’ day ahead for future household electricity costs

On Monday, ahead of a pending Nov. 19 vote on proposals that would determine how data centers should be connected to the grid, the coalition announced it submitted a plan to ensure the 67 million Americans served by PJM will not bear an unfair share of reliability risk and cost driven by soaring data center electricity demand.
The proposal builds on a resolution passed by the National Conference of State Legislators and upon elements of others submitted to PJM, including one submitted by the governors of Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, in partnership with the Data Center Coalition and Exelon.
