PJM submitted a proposal to FERC establishing an Interim Resource Adequacy Service (IRAS) to manage electricity demand from new large data center loads that do not bring their own power, including a Large Load Registry and emergency curtailment procedures to protect grid reliability and ratepayers within its 13-state region.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face mandatory curtailment rules if your data center does not bring new power capacity to PJM’s grid. Build or secure your own capacity now or risk disconnection when demand peaks.
