PJM Interconnection is facing criticism as AI and data centers stress the US's largest power grid. Politicians and stakeholders want fundamental changes, while some utilities are considering leaving.

The 70-page report highlights PJM's backlog and inefficiencies, proposing new ways to manage supply and demand but facing skepticism from those who argue it won't solve underlying issues.

With solar and batteries becoming more prevalent, the three-year commitment model used by PJM is coming under pressure. Meanwhile, rising utility bills and anti-data center sentiment may prevent any reforms from gaining traction.

The tech world watches closely as PJM struggles to adapt. The grid's challenges could have far-reaching implications for energy policy and innovation in the region.
