The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected most of grid operator PJM Interconnection’s large-load interconnection plan over jurisdictional and discrimination concerns.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected most of PJM Interconnection’s proposed large-load interconnection plan, according to Utility Dive. The excerpt concerns a regulatory decision on PJM’s proposed treatment of large electricity loads, not the rejection of a named individual data-center project.

The disputed proposal would allow curtailment of large loads that did not have matching new generation. FERC said this approach intruded on state jurisdiction and appeared to be discriminatory.

The supplied headline says “most” of the plan was rejected, so the decision should not be characterized as rejection of every provision. The excerpt does not identify retained elements, replacement requirements, compliance deadlines, or the amount of proposed load affected.
