Debate over adding data centers to regional energy grid continues in federal filings

The ongoing dispute between multiple agencies and organizations over the addition of large data centers to the regional energy grid persists, with several filings submitted to the federal government since November. On Nov. 25, Monitoring Analytics, LLC — an independent watchdog — filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) against the regional energy grid operator PJM Interconnection, LLC. PJM coordinates the movement of electricity between 13 states, including Virginia, as well as Washington, D.C., serving roughly 67 million people throughout the region. https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-news/data-centers-debate-regional-energy-grid-federal-filings/
