PJM's Proposed Data Center Interconnection Plan Faces Widespread Opposition
PJM's proposed "NCBL" (New Connection Baseline) plan to accelerate data center interconnections has sparked widespread opposition from stakeholders who fear it will distort the market and compromise grid reliability. The plan aims to establish a baseline interconnection process for pre-approved data center designs, but critics argue that it would unfairly prioritize large energy consumers like data centers, potentially leading to cost shifts and compromised grid stability, ultimately affecting not only those generators but also grid users at large.
