A bipartisan coalition of governors in the PJM electricity interconnection region formed the PJM Governors' Collaborative to improve coordination and lower energy costs amid rising demand and transmission challenges. The agreement includes efforts to expand nuclear power capacity, supported by a major Google-Consetllation investment, and push for regulatory changes like the POWER Act to manage increasing data center energy demands.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to plan for stricter energy sourcing rules in the PJM area as governors unite to control costs and reliability. Projects tied to data centres and nuclear power are now the frontline for securing grid access and project approval.
