The largest US grid is set to speed the review process for new power plants, in a move that supports gas in the race to feed a surge in demand from data centers amid the AI boom.
PJM Interconnection LLC, which manages a network from the East Coast to Chicago, won federal approval to fast-track the review of up to 50 new projects. The studies will focus on boosting grid reliability starting in April to help avoid potential shortages toward the end of this decade, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said in an order issued late Tuesday.
